I've had a cold/flu (ish) symptoms for the past couple of weeks now, which is bearable just, however I seem to have developed a further weird symptom.
Is it possible for your upper jaw to ache, especially at night when trying to sleep with a cold?
I genuinely don't think I have issues with the teeth themselves, it feels more like my jaws, and really ruddy hurts and wakes me up often during the night.
Lol. When I had pain in my upper jaw I got an emergency dental appointment. He diagnosed a sinus infection and prescribed antibiotics. I got the appointment with the dentist within an hour or so of telephoning , much quicker than I could ever have got one with my GP. Just a suggestion.....

Ta for the link Sibs, but it doesn't sound exactly like my symptoms. I don't get an initial shooting pain, it's a dull ache, that gets steadily worse as the evening comes and is ruddy 'orrible by the time im trying to sleep. I can only assume the act of actually laying down is making the problem worse.
I did suggest trying to fall asleep sitting up tonight, but Mr Boo looked at like id lost my marbles, so perhaps I won't try that one!
I nearly always get upper jaw and teeth dull ache with a cold as it always affects my sinuses rather than goes to my chest. Some people find sudafed helps, I don't it as it makes me feel 'wired' and hyper.
Stay clear of Sufafed, the insomnia is a side effect of that medication, good old IBU, some lemon sips and tea are good - and if you have some old-fashioned eucalyptus oil, boiling water into it and you take in the steam under a towel, a very good way of helping to alleviate it.
