Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain pain from wisdom tooth can extend to the entire jaw,radiated pain to ear, at times it gets diffused pain and radiates to eye (less common chances), throat, back of tongue etc..

It is mostly seen in case of Pericoronitis which is inflammation of the gum flap covering the wisdom tooth due to either infection caused by bacteria or if the flap get injured by opposite jaw tooth..

The inflammation caused due to this can lead to the above explained symptoms as well mild fever, sore throat, and dizziness..

I would suggest you to consult an oral surgeon and get evaluated and if you find any pathology related to the wisdom tooth the following symptoms can be due to it..

In case it is due to pericoronitis antibiotics, painkillers, warm saline gargles and taking enough rest can be relieving

In case if wisdom tooth pathology is not the cause it may be some other nerve or psychological disorder..

Hope your query is solved..

If you find the answer helpful please write a positive review and click on find this answer helpful as a token of appreciation..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
