Question 2

can you have jaw bone infection without fever or swelling, but just with sever pain? my dentist took an x-ray and said there's nothing wrong, and an urgent dr said it can't be an infection without fever. the aching area is spreading and i'm worried?

Accepted Answer

: Jaw pain can come from several things, I don't think you will get a specific answer to your concern using this forum. It requires an in-person examination. I wonder if it is nerve pain or a referral from somewhere else. I suggest seeing a primary care doctor, best an internist who is the most trained to care for adults. They can see the entire picture , do a good examination and consider referrals

Question 3

causes of heart racing? normal resting 70-80. today it was 115-130 for about 3 hours. rest, water brought down to 85-95. no chest pain. achy, tired, congested (flu-like). no fever. breakthrough covid? can infection without fever cause increased hr?

Accepted Answer

: I think a heart rate of 130 is not a simple cardiac response to a minor upper respiratory tract infection without fever unless you took heavy doses of a decongestant or instilled too much decongestant nasal spray. Should you have recurrent bouts of such rapid heart rates you will need a cardiac ( EKG, heart monitir) &amp; thyroid workup.

Colonization: Many of us have staph, and some have mrsa, present in our nose, groin and skin without any invasion of tissue or infection. Colonization does not have any symptoms but the carrier can transmit infection to others. See this site for more information.

Its possible, but...: Infections of the kidney usually present with fever & flank pain and are usually not subtle, except in certain more rare cases such as diabetes or immunecompromise. There are cases of chronic, smoldering infections of the kidney, but usually not in young, healthy individuals.
