Came down with the flu and my teeth are hurting like crazy!!

Your sinus' are probably full putting pressure on the nerves to your teeth.

Yes I have a bad cold and the other night my jaw/teeth/gums were killing me despite the regular adherence to Ease A Cold and Flu night/day tablets, then Demazin, colloidal silver, neti pot, manipulating the nasal/sinus/ears etc.

In the end after hours of face aching...I had 2 panadol...fixed in 5 minutes! Finally I could sleep. Last night I just had a bottle of red wine. I probably couldnt breathe but I passed out as soon as my head touched the pillow and slept for 10 hours straight...no hangover and almost back to normal apart from being grumpy about having to get up and take daughter to tennis lessons...not about having to take her..we just couldnt find her shoes.

So...take a couple of panadol/paracetomol...you probably have a sore jaw from holding your gob open to enable breathing..or grinding your teeth due to sinus pain.

You may have referred pain from nerve pathways shared between the teeth and sinus. Get really bad sinus and mind believes it is from the teeth. Try rubbing under your ears where there is a slight hollow and down your jawline. If rubbing here increases pain from the teeth then it is referred pain.

To ease sinus pain put half teaspoon of salt in your mouth and then take half mouth full of water. Swill around your mouth for a few minutes or longer if you can. At end spit out and rinse with water. Your nose may start to drip badly as you do this just let it drain out and keep swilling. Repeat every few hours until your sinus infection is gone.

This works because even a slight increase in salt concentration causes mucus to thin considerably.

Radiation sickness without a doubt

brush your teeth you dirty bastard ...lol

Don't rule out radiation poisoning, either. Same initial symptoms as flu.

Natural antibiotics are the way to go...I would recommend apple cider vinegar (about a tablespoon 3 times a day, or they also come in pill form if you can't stand the taste,etc) taken daily, this can be very beneficial for many reasons...also raw garlic is an amazing antibiotic...even works great for ear aches (which is what my daughter has been dealing with the last few days)...just squeeze some raw garlic juice into the ear canal and it will fix any ear ache right up ;)

Yes, totally sux too

Makes me wonder why a Immunization against flu and cold hasnt been created yet. Ive had a flu thats settled in my lungs since November, going on five months of coughing.

Whatever u guys do, avoid Aspen Dental like the plague. A friend of mine is in the process of having all of their work done over again.

I do not have the flu but I have flu like symptoms. My teeth have hurt for 3 days. All of this started out about 4 days ago with enlarged glands, sore throat, body aches. Has progressed into teeth hurting, headaches, joint aches. This is not the flu, its freaking me out a little.

Gee, sounds like the flu to me, All the classic symptoms . Started last year for myself.

Hey I had that for months prior to December 2010...turned out to be double pneumonia (that doesnt go away by itself it needs antibiotics) and I had no clue...just thought it was a very long lasting cold/cough. I ended up in hospital for a week....so get a lung x-ray! Its the only way to tell apparently.

BUMP! for more info...

Blocked snius

Yes!!! My teeth usually ache for 24 to 48 hours after I've had the flu, and am feeling better. Has happened to me for years. My Doctor and Dentist both say it's nothing to worry about!

Sinus infection can cause tooth pain. Antibiotics needed.

After reading through the notes here - I want to say that I always get tooth pain after the flu - and it is NOT gum infection or sinus infection!! I have been cleared in the past by both Doctor and Dentist... It is just nerve pain and will go away....

On the other side, you could be getting for ascension...(one of its symptoms is what you are describing).

It is likely your sinuses OP, I had the same thing a couple weeks ago. I felt pressure all through my sinuses and that pressure was even making the teeth on the top-right portion of my mouth hurt.

I don't have health insurance, a friend gave me some Penicillin to take, and I took a little allergy medicine specifically for sinuses. Lastly I made a Hot Tottie (Whiskey and hot tea) before I went to bed.

Repeated that process for 3 days and I was back to 100%.

There are two nerves in the neck that can make it even worse, so if you try pressing your shoulders upwards while pressing your head downwards then it just might help a lot. Good luck ya poor bugger.

please take your potassium iodide KI crystals and practice the "god" diet to detox completely so your body can do its work.loading the thyroid(about 6-8 months)causes the metabolic,immune, and hormonal systems to stabilize and work together instead of against each other.the side effects of taking potassium iodide are only detox sicknesses that mostly pass after the first month.if you don't cold turkey the detox reach for natural herbs to help ease the detox sicknesses.there's also no smoking,drinking,during the 6-8 months of complete detox of our brain and body.

I just tried that OP. Ended up with my upper palate swollen up and needed three courses of antibiotics. I was as sick as hell from all the infection in my system. Sores coming up all over my body. Doctor was not too happy with me. Bad sinus infections are nothing to play with.

I understand you because I used the exact same reasoning. Washing your sinuses out really does help. I get a syringe (without the needle) and use warm salted water with a bit of bicarb added. You may need to do it daily for weeks but it will work.

Try it. I really think it will help. If I'm wrong, then just call me quack of the year.
