What kind of headache is this? Is it caused by wisdom teeth? ?

Question

Ok, here's all the information I have on it:

He says his head feels like it's in a vice grip, the pain is bilateral (on both sides of the head), his jaw hurts, he's nauseous and has thrown up, he's had a bad taste in his mouth for about two weeks.

I believe he may have a tension headache and I'm wondering if it could be caused by his wisdom teeth coming in. At the moment he's in too much pain to be able to give me any more info. If ya'll could help and maybe let me know how to relieve his pain, that would be fantastic. Thank you!

Answer 1

the bad taste and the other symptoms sound like an infection, perhaps an abscessed tooth, impacted wisdom tooth ? i think it is time to see the doc or dentist.

in the mean time, rinsing with warm salt water and taking motrin should help a bit.

Answer 2

It may be a migraine. They are hard to get rid of but will eventually go away on their own...they can make you puke...you could try migraine headache medicine in the pain reliever isle at a store. it could also be from wisdom teeth. if he is in that much pain, maybe go see a doctor.
