Thanks for using health care magic.

Read your query .

The pain suggest an abscess in your decayed tooth which is causing the severe pain and also the referred pain.

I would advice you to visit your dentist and get an x-ray done , followed by removal of the filling and getting the root canal treatment done.

For pain you can take a ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicine) and antibiotics after consulting your dentist .

Do NOT apply any hot bag from the surface.

Do saline gargling.

Thanks and regards.

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The pain from your last tooth or wisdom tooth infection can produce radiating pain to cheek jaw bone and temporal region. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done if possible the tooth can be root canal treated or extracted. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like penicillin and analgesics like diclofenac. I hope my answer will help you. Take care
