Suggest Remedy For Tooth Infection Leading To Headaches

I had a crown to a jaw tooth about 7 years ago. the dentist said she may need to do root canal soon. i didn't get it done. Then I had stage 3 breast cancer , went through chemo. and radiation. Now I think the infection under the crown has spread to my neck lymph nodes and I have head aches. Is this something I need to see orthodonist or regular doctor for?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tooth infection in a crowned tooth is resulting in pain in the head. The lymphnode tenderness and enlargement. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin(if you are not allergic). Once the diagnosis is confirmed the tooth can be treated with root canal treatment.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
