I have had some sort of tooth ache-ear ache pain in my mouth for the past week.?
There is this pain that streches from my left far top molar to my ear. Today it was worse, because i didn't catch enough sleep last night and all day i've been struggling to keep awake in classes and there have been sharp pains in my head and the area described above. I did get bit by fire ants two days ago, but the pain has been going on before then. The climate where I live is fairly warm, but for some reason i feel deathly sick.

I am no Dentist, but I have experienced the same thing and it sounds as if you have an abscessed tooth. When you have an abscessed tooth it affected your whole body, the infection is being released into your body making you feel sick. The good news is the pain can disappear immediately. The bad news you must see a specialized referred by your dentist. Get into your dentist today tell them you think it is abscessed and he can put you on antibiotics immediately that may relieve some of the pain till you can get in to see the specialist who will pop that abscess,with instant relief. I promise it will be better. but get it done now because the infection can spread to you other teeth abscessing them as well. It happened to me I had THREE ABSCESSES AND THREE ROOT CANALS all because I waited so long. After they clean out the abscess then they will do a root canal. the pain radiates over your whole face causing great pain,especially at nite. I hope I'm wrong and it's just a bad cavity GOOD LUCK I definitely feel your pain. Call for appt today at Dentist office

Yes, that's what I thought too, an abscess. If it throbs like crazy at night (!!!) and the pain is so bad you want to pull the tooth yourself right then and there it sure is one. There is often but not always some swelling with it. See your dentist and s/he will x-ray it and give you antibiotics. An abscess can kill you, so make sure you go to find out.
If it is just a bad tooth you need work done too.
Good luck!

You need to see a dentist, it won;t go away. It is the nerve in your tooth. They can cause pain from your mouth to your ear to your eye. Get it looked after.

maybe you have a really bad cavity. i had a cavity down to the nerve and it caused bad pain in my jaw and ear. and it could also be like rotting inside so you cant notice it. but call your doctor. they may help. maybe go see a dentist too
hope you get better :]

no worries, you are just stressed out and gritting your teeth at night, the ear pain is just muscle tension.
get one of those mouth appliances that cushions teeth grinding.
