instruction: hello doctor I crunched a hard piece of ice a week ago and those few teeth left corner teeth were a bit sore since but starting sunday the pain became increasingly intense I put a solid clove in my teeth for about 30 minutes and it helped the pain but as soon as I took the clove out the pain returned this has caused disturbance in my sleep for the past few days monday majority of the tooth pain went away a few teeth still slightly hurt but not bad at all but now my entire left side of the face is swollen and it became worse overnight under the eye nose and top lip something in my gum hurts but there is no pimple or bubble there I have a slight fever but it is not bad and my left ear hurts sometimes sounds like an infection but I do not know why I want to blame this on the ice but it is odd that the prominent pain started so long after the incident how long will this continue and what is the best at home treatment should I see a dentist I have been trying to avoid it because of couid 19 is this a serious issue or did crunching the hard ice just trigger an infection somehow
