A member asked:
Can infection in multiple teeth/gum area cause painful swollen glands and general malaise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Like any other infection, infected teeth/gums can make you very sick. You must see a Dentist immediately. Most physicians, urgent care, or ER, will just provide palliative treatment, directing you on to a Dentist for appropriate care.
