Answer 7

All abscesses : Require drainage for proper healing. Regardless of location.

Answer 8

Yes... See A Dentist: Yes, treatment is required. Antibiotics may be necessary to resolve the pus which you are describing as a white pimple like growth. An abscess usually becomes more painful as it seeks to find a way out. At some point it will break open & spill the pus out into your system. You need to resolve this asap & see a dentist as the bacterial load will not be healthy for you & is potentially serious.

Answer 9

Yes: Most oral abscess will need to be drained and treated, and not just with antbiotics. You need to remove the cause of the infection inorder for it to heal completely.

Answer 10

No, not at all: Seeing a dentist is best. The dentist can evaluate the location and the size of the abscess. This then determines if antibiotics alone is needed, if antibiotics and some kind of cleaning procedure is needed, and if surgical intervention is needed.

Cause of headache: The best way to tackle a headache is to figure out what's causing it in the first place - is it a migraine, from not eating breakfast this am, from skipping a dose of a medicine, from not getting enough sleep? There can be many reasons. For the run of the mill dull headache, i usually like to try some Ibuprofen and/or tylenol (acetaminophen) first and see how it feels after an hour or so.

Answer 12

Headaches: Your headaches could be coming from tension, dehydration, lack of sleep/poor sleep, skipping meals, stress, teeth grinding, sleep apnea/snoring, or chronic sinus problems among other things. See a doctor to get checked out so you can get som ehelp for your headaches.

Answer 13

Get checked out: A good start at finding potential headache triggers would be to maintain a diary.

Get checked by your doctor.
