I am also worried about a rash that has come up on my face and seem to have tightness in the chest hard to breathe I have been reading and it seems that these may have something to do with the infection. I am very worried about the infection especially seeing as on the net there is a lot about tooth info tins being fatal. Eel help please..
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having developed root abscess producing plenty of induration affecting face and chest. You might require extracrtion of decayed tooth and removal of pus. Go to ER without waiting dentist appointment and go for treatment. You might require one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine for 5-7 days. Do antiseptic gargles daily. Ok and take care.
