Anybody know about hurting teeth?

[forjpj]

My ds has been complaining of his teeth hurting for the past couple of days. States his molars hurt on both sides when he chews, and won't eat. I just had him at the dentist so I know the teeth are fine. Any ideas?

Sometimes teeth hurt with a sinus infection.

Does he grind his teeth at night? Don't remember your son's age, but could there be teeth growing in?

How old is he?

I was thinking sinus infection too.

My teeth hurt when I had mono. I was really, really sick though.

He is 10. I thought about sinuses, but he only complains when he chews, and he complains about both sides. I just had him at the ped the other day, and everything was okay but some fluid in his ear...which of course he won't use the nasal spray for. All I know he he won't eat because of it and the rages are getting continuous, and bad. By noon, I had already cleaned up broken glass, and re-hid the knives. Would a yeast issue maybe cause that? He doesn't appear to have thrush I gave him a Benedryl and he was calm. It is gonna be a long day!! Already planned for my husband to pick my daughter up from school and vacate the premises for the evening. Fun, Fun!!

I apologize for not knowing your specific situation and what you have tried or tested for. Lyme can cause aching teeth. Hangs around for a while & then leaves. And all the raging stuff. Just chiming in. Dawn

Ds, 11, kept complaining of sore tooth. Took him to the dentist and he said the tooth was a little loose but not ready to come out. Took him to the LLMD for his consultation, mentioned the tooth pain and how he always seems to have some nasal issue going on, although no drainage or green snot. He kept trying to blow something out of his nose that would never come out. She did a nasal swab (not fun) on both sides and lo and behold-STREP! If your son has red or pink cheeks or ears, it could be strep. If they have facial pallor, especially around the mouth, it could be strep. He is on Bicillin shots and while not completely free of the strep, his tooth pain is less and his red cheeks are only slightly pink.

 

What I am saying is-have your son's nose swabbed, but be prepped for a battle. If there is infection, it hurts. This kind of strep will not show on a throat culture and the titers may not rise, even though the strep is there. Good luck.

I would be worried that the fluid in the ear was a breeding ground for bacteria, maybe a low grade infection. My son had fluid trapped in an ear a few years ago and it took months to clear. The pediatrican said not to worry about it because it didn't look infected. We didn't know about PANDAS at the time but when we looked backed we realized he had an exacerbation during that time.
