Jaw pain:
Emergency Interventions
(Professional Guide to Signs & Symptoms (Fifth Edition))
Ask the patient when the jaw pain began. Did it arise suddenly or gradually? Is it more severe or frequent now than when it first occurred? Sudden severe jaw pain, especially when associated with chest pain, shortness of breath, or arm pain, requires prompt evaluation because it may herald a life-threatening disorder. Perform an electrocardiogram and obtain blood samples for cardiac enzyme levels. Administer oxygen, morphine sulfate, and a vasodilator as indicated.

Perirectal abscess and fistula:
Treatment
(Handbook of Diseases)
Perirectal abscesses require surgical incision and drainage. The area may be explored to identify a fistula tract, and a fistulotomy may be performed later. Fistulas require a fistulotomy — removal of the fistula tract and associated granulation tissue — under general, spinal, or caudal anesthesia. If the fistula tract is epithelialized, treatment requires fistulectomy — removal of the fistulous tract — followed by the insertion of drains, which are gradually removed over time.

If the patient is in severe pain, withhold food, liquids, and oral medications until the diagnosis is confirmed. Administer an analgesic. Prepare the patient for diagnostic tests such as jaw X-rays. Apply an ice pack if the jaw is swollen, and discourage the patient from talking or moving his jaw.
Patient teaching
Instruct the patient on measures to relieve jaw discomfort depending on the source of the pain. Inform patients of the link between sudden severe jaw pain and cardiac dysfunction and to seek medical assistance immediately.
