Hi guys,
Its been a while. My anxiety was hiding within for a while its back in FULL force. With real type scares too!
I was sick on and off for a month a few weeks ago, saw the doctor (after she scared me into thinking I had a blood clot) I was diagnosed with Acute Bronchitis (that jump started my anxiety).
Finally on the mend after the worst cough that wouldn't go away, I wake up and feel a little bump on my gum... I saw the dreaded abscess pimple on my lower left molar . I went to the dentist next day and he told me the tooth next to it has to be pulled (crown broke but not infected) and a possible root canal done on the tooth with the abscess to try and save it. He gave me a prescription for penicillin 500MG 4x a day!! That was last Friday. I am 28 years old, clearly need to get caught up on my dental work (teeth look pretty they just aren't healthy) and I quit smoking three days ago because its not worth the anxiety. My tooth was never in pain, It had fullness underneath and only tiny soreness if I play with it. The pimple comes and goes. I was honest with my dentist about my anxiety he told me not to worry, hes never seen anyone go sepsis with this infection and that I just need to take the antibiotics and wait for the endotists to call me to make an appt (still hasnt done that yet but I should be getting in next week possibly Friday)
I googled tooth infection which was so STUPID! I am leaving out of town today for Thanksgiving for the weekend and I wake up with a head cold today!! I feel okay, I mean like I have a cold. No cough this time thank goodness just a head cold at this point. I dont feel weak or so AWFUL but I am keep thinking... what if this is my tooth and the antibitoics arent working. I know its my lower left molar and its probably just a head cold (fiance has it too) but I cant stop worrying... doesnt help I'll be 4 hours away from my doctors and dentists!!!
Anyone have had bad tooth infections? Should I be worried since I am taking the steps, combined with no smoking..... ?
