Hi I have been diagnoised with pericarditis. Initially I had flu like symptoms for a week the very weak for a futher few weeks with chest pains etc. Then doctor diagnoised post viral fatigue with pericarditis. I have been taking brufen and initially seemed to work but pains and weakness remain. My question however is could the pericarditis be related to dental work I received 3 months ago. I had 4 teeth extracted plus there was one tooth where a piece of tooth remains. My dentist said if it caused any problems she would remove the rest. It never has I don't have any toothace etc. many thanks Anne.

hi,i have a palpable neck swelling on left lateral neck since 17 days .it was small to start with but seems to grow bigger and is very painful and tender.the swelling goes submandibular on lifting the head.have slight cold also.got my blood investigations done .CBC normal. have taken 10days of amoxicillin .no improvement in swelling.changed to clindamycin since 2 days ,still not even slight improvement.taking clindamycin thrice a day with ibuprufen 400mg thrice a day. H/o tooth extraction done for left side lower 3rd and 2nd molars last year due to infected teeth. what must be the cause. So many causes coming to mind but unable to rule out for self.

I had a tooth extracted which led to dry socket. The dentist treated it w/ antibiotic and it sealed up. Quickly after I got a cold with the most rotten tasting/smelling mucus (so bad other can smell it) accompanied, by intermittent headache, slight fever, nausea (from swallowing it I anticipate) & stuffed up nose only in the nasal passage over the tooth extraction site. OTC meds only make me feel better for a little bit at a time. HELP!

I have neck swelling/pain that is increasing and swollen lymph nodes? in my neck and behind my ear following a dental extraction 4 days ago. I have another extraction on the same side to be done by an oral surgeon ..waiting for an appointment .. I am on clindamycin 150 mg 4x a day ,.. my ear on that side now feels blocked ..but the pain is increasing not decreasing and I have alternating sweats and chills.. Should I go to urgent care ?

I have what feels like a roll of cotton under my right cheek. This runs under my right nostril working its way back to about mid cheek. I don't notice a swelling externally but it does feel like a tightness/swelling internally. These are my symptoms currently. Now for some past history. Last February I noticed what seems to be a swelling under/behind my right cheek not severe just feels like the skin is tight. I had dental extractions done last year and there are no teeth in the area of the swelling. I went to the dentist to see if I might have an abscessed tooth. They took xrays and saw no signs of abscess. He did notice a darkness in the sinus cavity area on the back side of one tooth which is in the area of the swelling . He thought maybe it could be sinus related. I didn't seem to have any drainage discharge - no fever etc. On a follow up visit to my GP he prescribed a CT scan. The scan came back and the indication - SINUSITUS ACUTE. The tightness/swelling feeling seems to be near or in my right lower cheekbone where it meets the upper back teeth in the back. The report mentions that there is mucosal thickness in the left maxillary sinus and also a 8mm cyst. I had a course of antibiotics but it never really made a difference. So I ignored tightness. Five months ago I had dental extractions and all of my upper teeth on the right side were removed up to the 2 front teeth. I had some swelling due to the extractions - typical but now I am at the point where I began -I have what feels like a roll of cotton under my right cheek. This runs under my right nostril working its way back to about mid cheek. I don't notice a swelling externally but it does feel like a tightness/swelling internally. I went back the Oral Surgeon about 1 month after the extractions as the swelling was not getting better. He said to think of if as if I was punched in the mouth - its probably a hematoma ( I see nothing external). He said there were no infections. Well its been 5 months and this tightness/swelling feeling seems to be getting larger /tighter - more noticeable when I workout or get excited as its filling up with blood? So the question is what could this be? Scar tissue? Some sort of mass (trapped blood) ? Thanks - XXXXXXX

Hi I have had a tooth extraction over a week ago. It was my lower jaw. Since then I still find it painful to open my mouth. When I do it hurts across my face down my neck and up to my ear. Do you think I still have an infection?

Hi. I ve had a tooth extraction about 4 weeks ago & I haven t had my period. I never miss my period. The only other time I missed a period was 7 years ago on the same month I had my tooth extracted. Is there a correlation between the 2? Or could there be another underlying factor? The medication I took after the extraction this time was Amoxicillin , I don t remember what I took the last time. Could it maybe be the medication?
