Headache, burning scalp, hot flashes, nausea, weakness?

Hey everyone, I've been feeling pretty terrible these past few days. I'm a 20 y/o female with no previous medical history. About a week ago, I noticed an excruciating pain between two of my molars on the top left row of my teeth. The pain began to radiate toward my front teeth, and it seemed my gums were inflamed too. The pain couldn't be quelled unless I took acetaminophen and naproxen in conjunction, and orajel burned my gums. A few days following the first pain, it began to migrate toward my jaw, and since then I haven't been able to feel any pain in the original place it occurred. Now I can't open my jaw very well, and my cheek is also swollen. Yesterday, I began to feel like I was getting sick with the flu, but a very intense version of it. My head began to hurt as if I was getting a migraine, but was coupled with a burning sensation across my scalp. As I tried to sleep it off, I began to feel hot flashes, and thought I had a fever so I checked my temperature and it was completely normal. I also began experiencing intense nausea and had to vomit a few times in order to stay still in bed. My heart rate has also become more intense and noticeable, and this unshakeable feeing of nervousness and anxiety has stayed with my since. Today I'm seeing my dentist about my jaw, and hopefully that may explain the other symptoms as I suspect I have an infection that's spreading. Thoughts?
