Do I have a tooth infection? I've had a tooth ache for 72 hours!!!?

Well Friday morning I woke up to throbbing intense pain from my upper molar. I had a root canal on it about 4 years ago, and then it was infected and I had oral surgery over 1 year ago. But now I am having consistent throbbing pain. It causes me migraines and wakes me up once my medicine wears off, and sometimes medicine won't even help! Does anyone have any idea why my tooth is like this? I have also been taking antibiotics, but I don't feel like it is helping!


Please help!

go to the dentist's. this is not normal and sounds like there is a problem underneath the tooth, or something similar. they will be able to help.
Reply:You must take antibiotics and go to the dentist take care the infections may go to the bone.
Reply:You should definitely see your dentist. Toothaches are the worst. Is there anyway you can get in to see the dentist tomorrow? It would be best to do so, so that you can make sure you don't have a serious infection or anything of that nature. Hope you feel better!
Reply:Clove oil:Is great to use for toothaches. Apply a little on the affected tooth for some time and then rinse with warm water. Boil 5 grams of fresh peppermint in 1 cup water with a little salt. And rinse mouth well with this .Peppermint is an antiseptic and contains menthol which relives pain .Try out http://useinfo-dentalcare.blogspot.com/ for more details.
