A member asked:

I have a herniated disk buldging disk in my lower spine l4l5 area, and also have abscess i'm mouth need help!!!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Urgent care: The abscess in your mouth needs urgent attention. I would recommend seeing a doctor today in an urgent care center or ER. The back problem can be sorted out by your primary care provider. Ask about the need for imaging, or referral to a spine specialist. Hope this helps!
