Sevr jaw pain/discomfort, hurts to open mouth and evn hurts at rest. can it be early tetanus symptoms from infctd punc wound 2mos ago?

See a dentist: Tooth pain is caused when the nerve root of a tooth is irritated by infection, decay or trauma. OTC painkillers and antibiotics may provide some relief until you can get to your dentist. The good news is the prognosis is good with appropriate dental care. Remember, toothache pain will not go away on its own.
