Tooth root infection causing headache on one side of the head can be improved through medication or surgical treatment. Under a physician’s guidance, patients may appropriately use antibiotic medications such as metronidazole tablets, or analgesics like acetaminophen granules to alleviate pain symptoms. Surgical intervention—such as tooth extraction—may also be employed to resolve the underlying issue.
