A member asked:
Can you get facial celluits from an upper tooth abscess?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection can spread: Yes -I would be worried if u have redness, increased warmth of the skin, pain and/or a fever that ur developing an extension of your problem. Infections of the head and neck/face demand attention, because the all important BRAIN is nearby and you really don't want trouble there. Best thing to do is call your doc to be seen today. You may need drainage and antibiotics. If doc not available, goto ER
