Spot Near Tooth What Is It?

[mischamoonlight]

I don't know whether its panic and stress, but I'm feeling a little dizzy and I have chest flutters. I read the side effects for this antibiotics and I've worked myself up. It says about those as a side effect, and now its making me panic worse.

@NancyW Yeah, mine seems to be a little messed, especially bowel wise. See how it goes over the next day or so.

It doesn't seem to be going away? I'm on day 4 today of the antibiotics and the little spot beside my tooth is still there, and every now and then it fills back up with that pus. I'm a bit worried why its not going away?

I would ask your dentist about it. If it's "refilling" that means the infection is still there, and don't worry, when you see your dentist and have the procedure they will clear away all of it and put something in there to stop the infection. I would call the dentist that prescribed you the antibiotic and ask him the questions you're asking here. Please take care of yourself.

I finished my antibiotic course yesterday, and today it was fine, until later when it seemed to fill up a little more, but it burst (thankfully I had a clean tissue), and it seemed to bleed as well. So I started panicking of course.

I'm ringing in the morning to see what I can do.

I'm becoming frightened that the infection will spread to my brain, and why I'm feeling dizzy so often. This is making my anxiety and panic worse.

Hi Mischa, it’s very likely your anxiety that is making you feel that way. Plus the antibiotics in your system.
Keep your dentist updated, and maybe keep up with the salt water gargles.

@Scass I know, I'm panicking after reading about how to help a tooth infection and it just said about it going to the jaw and brain and as usual, its freaked me out. I rang this morning, and their is nothing available before my appointment on the 21st. I finished my antibiotics on Saturday, and been using Corsodyl twice a day to help keep it clean. I'm avoiding eating on that side of my mouth too. I'm panicking I know, I just get scared.

You panic when you read horror stories online..Why do you do this to yourself when you know what is the likely outcome?

Salt water washes are more effective than corsodyl...and cheaper!

[mischamoonlight]

@Pulisa I honestly don't know, it's a compulsion at times, which I've done again out of habit. I'm still using the salt water, I just used the corsodyl to help at night.
