Wisdom tooth growth, softness around gum, ear fullness, tightness of lower lip. Why is there pulsating sensation?
Patient: Hello, I think I may have a wisdom tooth growing in the back of my left side. Since then I have notice a soft to touch gum, bitter taste only on that side, ear fullness in my left ear. Also on yesterday, I felt as if my left lip felt tight whenever I smiled..What has prompted me to call this morning, is now, I feel like there is a pulsating sensation/pulling in my lower lip pulling to the side. Please advise if this could all be related.
