Dental review: It is difficult to comment without examining. However this could be a submandibular lymph node, it could be a ganglionic cyst or it could be an abscess developing. It short you need a dental review to ensure this is nothing sinister.

Toothache symptoms: When a tooth hurts, it is a symptom of a problem.  There is infection somewhere in the area.  It could be around the tooth or within the tooth.  You need a dentist to determine what the problem is and treat the cause. An antibiotic won't be enough without finding the source. Infections can spread, they put pressure on tissues and can cause intense ear and tissue pain.  Consult a dentist asap.

Numbness: the numbness is not from the oranges. You need to see your dentist to check for any cavities or abcess

Question 6

can a toothache cause numbness in your lips?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: A common cause of a toothache is a dental abscess.  If the infected tooth is a lower premolar or molar, the infection can put pressure on the major nerve in that area, which also provides sensation to the lower lip.  In any case, you should seek the opinion of an endodontist or dentist to help guide your treatment.

Question 7

i have a toothache, i think it is infected, it hasn't been too bad but all of a sudden tonight my lip went numb, how serious is this, will it go away?

Accepted Answer

Get it examined: Toothaches are often a sign of exposed inner tooth structure (the dentin which is what covers the nerve of the tooth). If decay or damage to the tooth is significant, infection sets up. The lip numbness may or may not be related to the tooth problem. The only way to know for sure is to have it evaluated by a dentist. Get it checked as soon as you can.

Question 8

if i had toothache, fever, headache and numbness around the lips, what might had cause it?

Accepted Answer

Toothache: A severe dental abscess can put pressure on the nerve usually on the lower lip and cause a certain degree of numbness. With the level of symptoms you are describing you should seek out care asap.

Question 9

toothache come and goes, 2 fingernail size lumps under chin/jaw and lips swollen, do you know what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Could be abscess...: But that is only a guess since you cannot be examined over the internet. Please see a local dentist for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Question 10

why is does my ear hurt and my lip and chin numb with a toothache?

Accepted Answer

Abscess: The internal pressure from the abscess is impinging on the inferior alveolar nerve. This must be immediately treated by a local dentist, endodontist, or oral surgeon. The abscess can spread under your tongue resulting in airway obstruction. Left for an extended period, the pressure can cause irreversible damage to the tissues.
