Wisdom Teeth!! aaaaaaaaaa...!

[babylilo]

My wisdom teeth are coming through at the moment and they are constantly giving me a really sore head to the extent that i can hardly move. i have taken paracetamol and put bongela on my gums but nothing it working. I now feel like i have the flu sore head, head it burning up and i am freezing cold. My bro's girlfriend was sick earlier in our bathroom sink but he cleared that up. Is the illness due to my wisdom teeth or do you think i may of caught something for his girlfriend? Please help!! and thanks in advance! x

Why, did you bite her?

Wisdom teeth can be painful especially if impacted. You shouldl see your dentist (or doctor) and get it checked out.

I had impacted wisdom teeth and had to have them removed in hospital.

Wisdom teeth hurt when they are coming through whether they are impacted or not. Take some paracetamol and book an appointment with your dentist. Your doctor will only refer you back to your dentist (I've been there and done that!). Chewing gum helped me with the sore back teeth and Nurofen for the head pain (bit like your head is stuck in a vice kind of headache). The bad thing is, these teeth will have growth spurts if they are anything like mine and you could have two weeks of pain followed by six months of no problems then three days of pain then nothing again. Fingers crossed mine are all fully grown now and I won't need them removed.
