It feels like I got kicked in the eye and the pain radiates down to right about where the tooth is anchored in my maxilla. no swelling, not warm to the touch, and the eye that hurts isn't really all that red outside a little fatigue redness.
Cavity-headache or just a random wtf headache?
I would think that a cavity could make you unconsciously clench and use your jaw differently, which could put stress on the tendon there and lead to a headache. take that free medical advice for what it's worth.
