Hi All,
Recently my HA has calmed down rather a lot, compared to what it was (look at my previous posts :D).
I am now slightly worried about my abscess returning.
Before I went away on holiday (2 weeks ago today) the dentist opened up my tooth and drained the abscess that I had (I became allergic to the antibiotics so I could not take them) and the inflamation and pain went away within 3 days.
I am now worried that because it's opened up and theres still a slight lump on my gum that it will return with a vengeance.
It keeps getting slightly sore and I keep getting slight aching pains that last about 5 minutes each time.
I'm now brushing my teeth 3 times a day and using mouthwash about 4 times a day. I am also doing salt rinses during the day.
My appointment to have a root canal done is on the 31st of this month, so I still have two weeks to wait.
I'm worried that if it does come back and flare up, that it will spread into my blood stream and cause a life threatening illness.
Can anyone offer some advice or guidance?
Thank you in advance, and sorry for my constant moaning.
