I have a tooth infection and I'm due root canal on it tomorrow morning :weep:
Dentist didn't give me anti-biotics, but said to treat the pain with painkillers; which I've done.
However, I have had really, really pain behind my ears and it got so bad that I've just been to the walk in clinic at the hospital and the doctor there said that my gland was inflammed. He didn't really say much, gave me some codeine to take and sent me on my way.
Now to a non HA person, they would say "great, thanks for the tablets!" but I'm thinking "OMG the pain is unbearable and why are my glands inflammed, do I have cancer or some other nasty diease?" *sigh*
I asked if the painful gland was related to my tooth and he shrugged and said "possibly" What a great way to reassure me and my HA!
Do you think they're linked?
WHY am I always ill? My fiance says I make myself ill with all my worrying...
Just waiting for the codeine to kick in, god I hope it does and the pain is so bad..sorry for the rant and thanks guys x
