Hi,

I ended up posting this in a reply to someone else while I was still looking for anyone who had experienced anything similar, but I can't find anything at all so now I'm posting it here...

I've had a cold for the last week or so, and since a couple of days ago the area around my upper right wisdom tooth (which sticks out at a funny angle, but has done for the last few years since it came out) feels odd. It sort of throbs and hurts if I step too heavily when walking, or shake something in my hand etc... but even just going from lying down to sitting up, and sitting to standing up etc seems to cause it too, even if done very slowly and smoothly (so maybe changes in blood pressure or something similar?)

I can't tell where exactly it's coming from, it may be the wisdom tooth or one of the teeth further forward from it, or just the general area. The teeth themselves don't hurt when touching them etc, it's kind of right up in the gums and in the side of my face (although there's no visible swelling or anything). I'm wondering if it might be some kind of secondary infection from the cold. The cold also seems to have stopped improving since around the same day this started, my cold symptoms were changing and getting worse and then better each day before then, but since then they seem to have just stayed about the same.

Does anyone have any idea what these symptoms might indicate? And might antibiotics help?

I can't find anything or anyone with similar symptoms online at all, with it being caused by moving around but no pain from touching the teeth themselves at all, so any help at all would be much appreciated.
