Common Questions and Answers about Abscess in the nose

abscess

Avatar f tn My 9 month old cat recently had an abscess that burst on his side. I took him to the vet two days ago and he was put on amoxicillin. Today, right next to the burst abscess there is another abscess formed. There are not visible wounds so there is nowhere to drain from. He does not feel warm to touch on his nose or his ears. The vet is closed for two days and there are no emergency clinics near me. Please offer advice on how to help my Oliver.
Avatar f tn t necessarily pick up on the problem unless the abscess was so big it ruptured into a sinus cavity since they focus exclusively on the sinuses and not the mouth. If you haven't already gone that route, it's worth a trip to a dentist to at least rule it out.
Avatar n tn Enlarged adenoids may block the Eustachian tubes. Eustachian tubes connect the middle ear to the throat; this balances the air pressure in the ears. This tube can get blocked due to infections of the throat or enlarged adenoids, which can lead to a feeling of fullness in the ears. This can also result in infection of the ears. So, an adenoidectomy may help with his symptoms. Good luck for the procedure. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn This may be brought about by a break in the skin/areola, producing a superimposed infection and thus abscess formation. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage must be done and the specimen is sent to the pathologist for evaluation. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Important to mention my lower jaw and upper broken abscess molar are both located on the left side. I have been extremely depressed as my best friend passed away and my ex boyfriend tried to kill me all in a month. Hence the broken jaw. I started doing cocaine and now the entire inside of my nose has deteriorated and I’m so scared to see a doctor because I’m embarrassed for letting my body suffer and missing my initial follow up after surgery.
Avatar f tn Have had very bad teeth for 4 years now because of not being able to find a dentist around here that takes my insurance...
Avatar m tn The abscess didnt resolve and I started getting swelling in my cheek. They then recommended that #13 be extracted. That was done in early Sept. The abscess resolved and the extraction site healed good. But I still have swelling in my cheek. I had a 103 temp and enlarged lymph nodes in my neck, both sides in October. I went to ER and they gave me IV antibiotics and a script for Amoxicilian, during the other RCT and extraction treatments I was given Clindamycin.
Avatar n tn One month ago, I noticed a round bump which looked much like an external blister started to form on the right side of the nose piece that runs in between the nostrils. A dry patch of skin formed on the outside and the "blister" is soft and skin colored. One time (one time only), I pulled off the dry patch of skin, to find a small red dot underneath that started to bleed.
Avatar m tn I went to the dentist just in case of an abscess or something, but he found no infections in my teeth. The only specialist I haven't seen yet is an ophthalmologist. Does this sound like ANYTHING at all? I can't find any medical issue online that sounds even close.
Avatar f tn If i look up or down while im standing or walking it gets way worse i also think i have a hole in my nose well i know i have a hole in my nose and it constintly hurts. Im wondering if its all combi ed can i have an infection in my nose that caused the bubble above my bad tooth thats causeing me all this pain or could the tooth have given me an infection which inturn infected my nose and swallowing puts whatever it is in my stomache.
Avatar n tn It could be a sinus infection. Do you have the symptoms of runny nose along with the sore throat? Even if you don't have rhinorrhea (runny nose) still could be sinus. Check the lymph node, if the swelling is less than an inch, then you needn't to see the doctor. See the skin colour above the lymph node, if the skin is red or pink, it means that the lymph node is loosing the battle against the infectious agent, you better get yourself checked then.
Avatar f tn I chipped my front tooth 44 years ago, and had a root canal, braces, bonding then finally a crown put on. In the early 90s, I had an abscess make an opening in the front of my gums and start draining. It seems that the metal point in my root canal caused the abscess and an endodontist did a second root canal, removed the metal and used gumma percha and it was fine. Now it’s 2018 and I have a soreness beneath my nose and I thought it was from clenching my teeth while I sleep.
Avatar m tn I have a root abscess from a broken tooth on the upper jaw. A week ago I had a severe pain on that tooth and I started taking Amoxicillin 500mg as my dentist prescribed in case of infection when he opened it to clean the roots.The next day the part next to my nose got swollen but the pain has gone.After 5 days on Amoxicillin the swell is not visible but I can feel it when I open my mouth. The thing that get me worried is that slight pressure feeling on my cheek and the upper eyelid.
Avatar n tn the infecting source causing enlargement of lymph nodes. The infection can be from the draining skin or the organs. You could see if any of the draining areas have any evidence of infection, like tonsils, the skin, tooth abscess or an ear infection. Infections like tuberculosis can cause lymphadenopathy. It would be worthwhile to see if other lymph groups are enlarged namely, axilla and groin, these can be palpated. If persisting consult your doctor for an evaluation.
Avatar m tn finally these types of headaches i have never had in my life before i have had to go to my mp in uk BECAUSE the poor treatment i have recieved in hospitals and doctors.
Avatar f tn Around the same time, every time I stood up or bent down, I had an excruciating pain in the left front side of my head and at times the left top side of my nose simultaneously. Sometimes the shooting pain in my head alone happens when I am just sitting still. I went to the Dr's today and confirmed that the lump behind my ear was an abscess. She didn't think the pain was related, but didn't know what it was. I know she was busy, but the whole appt just felt rushed.
Avatar m tn The fluid buildup had to go somewhere and finally went into the sinus cavity and eye duct. My nostril and eye leaked fluid, relieving the pressure and the abscess went down. In a way, you could say it was a combination tooth abscess/sinus infection since it affected both areas. Along with warm warm salt water rinses, try placing a very warm, wet wash clothe over the cheek and nostril several times a day.
1399266 tn?1280637104 It is a tough situation. Antibiotics are for bacterial infections so unless the abscess is a secondary diagnosis to a bacterial infection, the antibiotics won't make it go away. On the other hand, if she reacts to anesthesia, putting her under to pull the tooth would be a problem. I would suggest further discussion with your vet so that fully understand the risks and benefits of both courses of action.
Avatar m tn took that off, stitched it up and it is fine now. But this fever and stuffiness in my nose off and on has me very uncomfortable. I don't feel well when my temp is over 98. I feel achy and weak, but not sleepy. Sometimes I feel a bit achy all over too. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn s recovery so it was the most painful thing for me. The IGM was bearable until the abscess started to appear.
Avatar f tn My face is so swollen its causing pressure in my eye ear and nose. Ive been on cephalexin for a bit more then 24 hrs now but the swelling and pain has not subsided at all. So my question is, when can i expect relief??? And is it because of me that my dentist couldn't remove the teeth? He said that he couldn't extract them because I was too nervous and basically he 'couldn't do his job'.
Avatar f tn I was on antibiotics (augmentin) before the surgery, which I continued due to the abscess but the day following the root canal, my face is very swollen, from the nose to below the jaw bone and slightly pink. It is not hard and not terribly sensitive today. What could have happened to cause this swelling and do you think the abscess has not been completely resolved?
Avatar f tn The “booger” may be a nasal polyp or a foreign body, since kids place a variety of things in their ears and nose, with associated infection. If the doctor is unable to remove this “object” or if it turns out to be an abscess, it may have to be surgically excised. Hope this got resolved.
Avatar n tn I get a gross taste when I yawn almost feels like pus draining throught my 2nd to last upper molar on the right side of my mouth. I have had all my teeth checked by a dentist and no abscess has been found, or anything else that would explain the drainage. I have been seeing a lot of doctors recently, none of which seem to help me out with anything. I get some dizziness, and pressure in the ears sometimes as well. I also have what feels like swelling on my hard palate.
480331 tn?1310403529 Possibilities are a trauma (bump, hit or cut on the nose), a skin infection below the surface that is not obvious, something in the sinus or even a growth of some kind near the tip of the nose. One way to know for sure is to let your veterinarian examine her and proceed accordingly.
Avatar f tn I have been thru the ropes! I was suffering from severe head pain up to my temple back in beginning of January. The pain was so much worse when bending over, picking something up, and movement. It would really hurt to kiss my daughter goodnight b/c i'd lean over! I went to ER and had CAT scan and spinal tap done at that time (rule out anyerism). I also had a full sinus scan done b/c i was on antibiotics for Sinus infection at the time (family doc thought head pain was due to sinuses).
Avatar m tn Hello Recently I have had two surgeries to remove an abscess in my groin/left thigh. The First operation occurred two weeks before the second. I'm now 8 days post second op and the wound is healing well and I thought all was going to be ok but the nurse who comes daily to pack and redress my wound is very concerned about the large approx 8cm long hard lump that surrounds the wound. She applied pressure and squeezed it alot yesterday and now the whole region is painful again.
