So last time I had this was a month ago. Basically I got some swelling on my right bottom jaw. Thought it was my wisdom tooth. Had it cut out and it wasn't. Still had strange pain on the cheek gum line. Caused a headache ache and sore throat.

It's been healed. Strangely enough, the left side just started up. Same symptoms. Any ideas??

    Do you have any white spots in the back of your throat? If so, you may have bacterial tonsillitis which could have derived from your cold. This is because of the mucus carrying bacteria of which your tonsils could not filter out. This would in turn leave you with a bacterial infection. If you do not havs spots on your throat i would still say you may have viral tonsillitis due to the cold. Please research both and try to figure out which you have.

    Nope, no cold. I rarely get sick. I can't really recall ever being except when I was child. 32. It's strange though. The right bottom side got painful and grew over the wisdom tooth. Now the left side is. Like a flap of skin grows out and over. I was thinking possibly tumor or jaw cancer.. Nothing seems to make sense.
