What Causes Cough, Sore Throat, Toothache And Swelling Of Lips?

Hello,
my sickness started of as a cough and sore throat, which went on to become running nose with green mucus. Shortly after, the four teeth which i had root canal on started to hurt. They hurt so much i could not sleep at night. The toothache has been on for like the past 3 days. As I woke up today, my upper lip is swollen. What could be the problem I might be facing?

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.the cough and throat infection could be a separate entity. The pain in the teeth and swelling could be because of the tooth infection or gum infection leading to pus formation. Consult a oral physician and take radiograph to ruleout these conditions. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.If there is defect in previous root canal treatment or any infection in other tooth get it root canal treated. If it is gum infection get your teeth cleaned. Do saline gargling and maintain oral hygiene. I hope my answer will help you. Take care
