Experiencing Nausea,stiffness & Burning Sensation In Chest & Neck

I have had an abscessed tooth and am now experiencing nausea, stiffness and pain in my upper abdomen and a burning sensation down my neck and in my chest. I am currently on an antibiotic, but not sure if I should go back to the doctor again to address the most current symptoms

Hi thanks for asking question.

Noted you having tooth abscess and taking antibiotic for it.

Now this symptom could be because of gastritis induce by antibiotic.Are you taking which antibiotic ?? It is better to take rabeprazole plus domperidone combination drug along with antibiotic to treat gastritis and prevent subsequent gastric injury.

Get your CBC count done.
If high count with neutrophilia even after use of antibiotic , then chest x ray done to just rule out spread of infection to lung parenchyma.
If fever increasing and chances of infection spread into blood lead to bacteremia then intravenous antibiotic may needed.

I hope my suggestion will be useful to you.
