Hello,

I can understand your concern. As you are having pain in the jaw, I am suspecting presence of an impacted wisdom tooth in the jaw. Impacted tooth is the tooth that wants to erupt into oral cavity but it cannot erupt because of lack of physical space or its difficult position regarding shape, size and direction of eruption.

This type of tooth can cause referred pain in the other jaw, neck, ear and can also present as headache.

I would recommend you to go to dentist and go for x-ray of the upper and lower jaw of the left side for diagnosis of such impacted tooth. Make sure you inform him/her of your pregnancy so that he/she can take necessary precautions while examining you and taking x-ray. If such tooth is present, its extraction is advised for pain relief.

You can take Acetaminophen 500 mg or Ibuprofen 400 mg up to three times a day for pain relief till you get an appointment with the dentist.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
