Abscess: Sounds like abscessed tooth with spreading infection. Get help immediately before infection spreads any farther. Call Dentist, Endodontist, oral Surgeon, or go to ER with Dental Department. The longer you wait, the harder to treat.

See a dentist ASAP: A tooth abscess won't go away without treatment and the infection may spread to your jaw, cheeks, sinus and to other areas of your head and neck. A dental abscess is a collection of pus that forms in your teeth or gums as a result of a bacterial infection. Dentist will treat a tooth abscess by treating the cause and getting rid of the infection. See your dentist ASAP.

Determine cause: Since you have excessive pain in one of your teeth, it would be best to have a local dentist evaluate you for treatment. The other symptoms may be caused by the pain from this tooth. Make the call.
