Q: pregnant with severe jaw pain

asked by: Jasman on April 3rd, 2008

I am 15 weeks pregnant. Yesterday, I had some swelling and pain around one of my wisdom teeth (I still have all 4). Today, my jaw is stiff and the whole right side of my face is swollen. I am in excruciating pain. My ob-gyn called in a Rx for pain meds until I see the dentist tomorrow, but they are not helping at all. The swelling and pain continue to worsen. I can now barely open my mouth. It also hurts to swallow. Anyone know what this is? Is my baby in danger? Does this need medical action right now, or can it wait until tomorrow?

Did your OBGYN see you or just call something in for you?
