For the past few months, I've know that my upper back wisdom tooth had a fairly large spot of decay on it, but it hasn't bothered me, so I haven't seen my dentist. Over the last few days, I've had a vague headache and a bit of pain in my eye. This morning, I woke up when I turned over in bed because putting pressure on my ear hurt! It hurts to touch it and it actually feels a bit swollen! It almost feels like there is a bump right inside the ear, but they usually don't hurt this badly! Is it possible that, even though the tooth doesn't bother me much(a minor throbbing ache now and again is all) that the other symptoms can be coming from that?? Anyone else ever have this experience??

I would say you need to get to the dentist and soon . Most likely have an abcess tooth and need to get there before it goes though your whole system and get there now . Don't waste anymore time and keep us posted .

Take care
