    Phone your dentist. They may be able to give you advice but may be unwilling to see you in these Covid times.Try taking Ibuprofen in the mean time. If your dentist cant help and feels it is a GP problem then try contacting your GP,but be prepared to only get advice and not be seen.

    I can only think it to be neuralgia because I've had it & it's very painful in which case try your dentist

    If not then maybe try your doctor.

    Keep me posted if u want too
