A member asked:

I've had fatigue/brain fog for 3 days. today, i had a throbbing tooth and got dx'd with an abscess. could the other symptoms mean brain abscess?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: However an abscess, az virulent infection, can be debilitating. You must have the infection treated immediately.
