Can a cold give you a toothache?

Colds themselves do not usually lead to the symptoms of toothache, but they may trigger the onset of dental disease due to the lowering of the body’s immunity.
Colds generally refer to upper respiratory tract infections, mainly due to viruses, bacteria and other pathogens triggered by the patient usually appear coughing, sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose and other symptoms, but also may produce fever, sore throat, hoarseness, etc., in itself does not cause toothache.
However, after the upper respiratory tract infection, the patient’s body immunity will be reduced, the resistance to bacteria, viruses and other pathogens is weakened, if the teeth themselves have lesions, it is easy to induce acute periodontal infectious diseases, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and so on, thus resulting in toothache.
It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital as soon as possible, identify the cause of the disease and then use targeted methods to solve the problem, so as not to have an impact on the health of the body.
