What Causes Pain In Tooth/jaw, Stuffy Nose And Nasal Congestion?
I have had a stuffed up nose and lots of congestion since Sunday and then today my jaw and tooth on my right side started hurting. Throbbing. Heat seems to help some but still hurts. I was wondering if the tooth and jaw pain is maybe because of the sinus pressure.

Thanks for your query,
the pain in the tooth could be because of tooth decay, the features you are presenting with looks like pulpitis...to rule out this you have to take some radiograph of the affected tooth...and the pain in tooth can also be radiated from the sinus infection..so the radiograph should reveal the cause...consult a dental surgeon for further....you can take a pain killer til you consult a dentist...
i hope my answer will help you..
with regards
