Question 1

i took 3 hydro 15 on saturday family gave them to me for a abscess tooth and will i pass a hair follicle and drug test?

Accepted Answer

What to do: An abscessed tooth is excruciatingly painful and it's barbaric that pain relief isn't immediately available to anyone in need from a licensed practitioner. This being said, you may need to explain that you had the abscessed tooth -- which you can presumably document from a dentist's visit -- and took "some hydrocodone from a long time ago." The key is seeing the dentist now if you haven't already.

Question 2

can an abscessed tooth cause a numbness sensation in your head and face?

Accepted Answer

What arch: The answer is yes sometimes that happens especially if the tooth is near a foramina, opening in the bone where the nerve comes out. There are other reasons for hypothesia, diminshed sensations, and parathesia, loss of sensation, .More likely in lower arch.

Question 3

large, red painful lump on cheek, doesn't come to a head like a spot. just above where it's coming through so maybe i have an abscess or impacted wisdom tooth?

Accepted Answer

Best to be : Evaluated by a dentist.  Once an exam and appropriate x-rays are taken a more definitive diagnosis and aporopriate treatment recomnendations can be rendered.  Hope this helps.

Question 4

have a tooth abscess being treated for it. but ive devolved leg and foot pain the last day or so. im also tired. can this be signs of sepsis? or is it in my head. i dont have a fever my bp is normal, normal 02 levels do you have to have a fever?

Accepted Answer

: A periapical tooth abcess is sepsis but I think it's localized in your case with no relationship to leg &amp; foot pain.  More description of this pain would help us give a cause for those symptoms. See your physician as needed.

Question 5

i was put on antibiotics for an abscess on my tailbone yesterday, a head formed last night, began draining itself this morning for the past 5 hours?

Accepted Answer

May need surgery: If you have a pilonidal cyst it will often require surgery for cure. Consider a surgical consultation.

Question 6

when u have a abscess do it hurt the whole mouth and tbe head and around the nose pleaz help?

Accepted Answer

Please Clarify: First, I am sorry to report but the question is quite confusing.  What is the context of your infection? Why are you not on antibiotics or having the abscess drained? But, infected cystic abscesses cause a lot of pain.

Question 7

i have an abcess tooth, is something wrong? i have had an abcess tooth for almost 3weeks now, i have been on penicillin 500mg 3times a day, that didn't help. i'm now on clindamycin 300mg every 6 hours, it got the abcess to come to a head and pop, but i st

Accepted Answer

Usually : Usually an abscess is treated by opening it up. Have you been to the dentist? Even if you did go to the dentist, it sounds like your condition may have worsened.  I recommend that you let your provider know about your current symptoms.

Question 8

in what way can a tooth abcess cause head aches?

Accepted Answer

Pressure ; Pain: Both can cause headaches.

Question 9

ive had a stinging sensation on the left side of my head since i got a absese tooth pulled 4 days ago and even when i dont have the stinging sensation?

Accepted Answer

Not clear: if you were to say stinging sensation in area where tooth was or the surround area that would be expected but left side of head could be a range of things.

if not severe id suggest seeing how it is in a few more days or see you GP.

Question 10

i have what seems to be a white head in my mouth right below my back tooth and it pops, is this an absest?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a Fistula: When a pulp within the tooth becomes infected it dissolves and the tooth acts like a thermometer. Every time you eat something hot, the infected material expands and is pushed out of the tooth into the surrounding bone. The body sends in white blood cells to fight the infection and when they die, they form pus. The body tries to get rid of it by forming a tract to the surface. See a dentist today!
