I have a decaying tooth on my right side its been that way for a year but getting worse. It s now a big hole all the way to my gum. I used to get painful toothaches but haven t in awhile. Recently I knot popped up on the back of my neck on the right side and its very uncomfortable I get sharp pains in my jaw and my ear and my kneck is stiff. Could this knot be due to my tooth or something else?
Hello, yes this knot seem to occur because of your decayed tooth. Due to your decayed tooth you experience pain in jaw as wellear.it seems your the tooth affected is in lower jaw you need to undergo a dental x-ray .the tooth will either be removed or undergo root canal treatment. You Wilde prescribed with antibiotics and painkillers. Regards Chat Doctor.
