Toothache due to cold???

The right side of mouth hurts like...I can't even put it into words. All my wisdom teeth are in so I know it is not that. I am really congested and fighting a bad cold, could this be the cause of my horrible toothache??

if it's an actual cold with your sinuses bothering you, i would say no.

if it is a legit sinus infection, then go and get the antibiotic. it's not exactly going to help your mouth, but it'll break it up.

if you have any nasal sprays with a steroid in it, it should help a little

can you tell i get this all the time?

This is my first time actaully feeling a toothache while I have a cold. I bought Sudafed Decongestant, I was told it should alleviate some of the pressure. Because if not I am going to !!!!

I waited it out for a couple of days taking sudafed but when I couldnt kick it I went to the doc and they gave me Nasacort which is basically what Alyssa said regarding nasal spray and I got an antibiotic.
