Hi,
I'm 22 year old, male. For the past two months I wasn't feeling well and I'm starting to be really worried about this.
First I got sick with fever and diarhhea, then I started having sinus pain, but I don't have sinusitis (got an X Ray). My temples hurted, my jaw hurted. It went away eventually, but I started having trouble breathing because of stuffy nose, postnasal drip that was making me sick.
It also went away, but now my throat is scratchy, my temples hurt again as well as my right upper wisdom tooth. Well, it's not really pain, but more like stiffness and slight burning. I cough, but not too much. The problem is that the stiffness is causing me extreme discomfort, and sometimes even my eyes feel weird - almost like I'm seeing double, the image just feels weird. All of these come and go, sometimes disappear, sometimes gets worse, but now I'm really scared that I'm not getting better. I have an appointment with a doctor in two weeks, but I cannot stand this anymore... especially in the evening - it's just hell...

PLEASE see a dentist or better yet, an oral surgeon. I had bronchitis and fatigue and general ill feeling symptoms for 10 months, years ago, and it was from an infected tooth. No doctor bothered to ask about my teeth.

I am in no way saying that your problem is dental, and your symptoms are different. But you say your tooth hurt, so please do have it looked at ASAP. All my symptoms were gone within 3 days of having the tooth removed, and the periodontist told me that the infection was the cause.
