<s>[INST] i have had toothache for the last month, its terrible in the morning, gets better during the day and returns in the evening.  I also have ear pain on the same side and a sore throat.  My doc has done bloods and all is good wih them.  I also have a bad taste off and on.  im having a bad wisdom tooth pulled soon, is this the cause?? [/INST] Hello and thanks for consulting HCM. i have read your query and yes it can be due improperly erupted wisdom tooth.if the wisdom tooth is completely or partially impacted and causing pain and food lodgement then its better to get it removed.Meanwhile you can do certain things:~rinse mouth with lukewarm saline gargle~maintain good oral hygiene~apply dentogel over affected area~for pain a pain killer can be takenHope this answers your queryRegardsDr. Shesh </s>
