Jaw or tooth pain: The medications one would use depends on what is causing the pain. If there is an abscess then an antibiotic and drainage of the access is necessary. If there are cavities then the only treatment is to see the dentist and have them repaired. Tmj can cause pain along the side of the face and there are numerous treatments for this condition. Even an ear infection can cause pain along the jaw.
