Avatar f tn I currently have been dealng with a recurrent subareolar breast abscess. I was first treated with ten days of keflex two times a day, in which it got better but then came back. Next I went to a breast surgeon and she performed incision and drainage and another ten days of keflex. The abscess still would not heal so I had surgery a few days ago in which the surgeon removed the abscess and I thnk some of the infected ducts.
Avatar f tn Another possibility is swelling due to sinusitis. It can also be an abscess or a cyst filled with fluid. Cystic acne can also cause a swelling over the eyebrow. Hope this helps!
Avatar n tn It is quite possible that what your girlfriend has are micro abscesses. Usually brain abscess respond to antibiotic treatment. This abscess can be a result of ear infection, dental abscess, paranasal sinus infection to name a few. It is very difficult to pin point the exact cause without the MRI findings and a clinical examination. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn So I have severe hypochondria (health anxiety) and I am so so scared of getting a brain infection/brain abscess. I have heard one of the ways of this happening is by an infection in the ear. Now about a month ago I had Otitis Externa (outer ear infection) which was really painful and took about 2 weeks to completely clear up. I have really itchy ears at the moment because I have eczema inside so I am hoping thats all it is.

619150 tn?1247048274 Now I am getting worried, I have had sinius pain,eyes, ears, glands and head or brain pressure. I have just started to get into a dentist, I am on medicaid. Today the abcess burst with the usual spitting blood till it was gone, but seems there was two since there is still one there, all purple. I then got all anxious, with head pressure etc. etc. My question is should I seek emergency treatment for this, has it spread too far. Will an ER help, treat me?
Avatar f tn Over the past couple days I developed an extremely painful abscess. In an attempt to clean my mouth using coconut oil the abscess burst. I believe I didn't swallow any of the liquid leaking out and throughly rinsed my mouth with salt water and then some hydrogen peroxide. I will be receiving insurance in about 2 weeks from my new job so I am hoping I can hold off going to the dentist till then.
Avatar n tn 5 years ago, I had to receive two brain operations, the first being a brain abscess which resulted from a previous mastoid surgery. the second brain surgery was my lower brain had sunken down into my ear area and from that received bacterial meningitis. I was told that I have scarring on the brain, and was wondering would could potentially arise health wise in years to come as I was never fully informed on anything due to young age at the time and routine scans stopped over 2 years ago.
Avatar f tn for me I did a terrible thing with teeth and led to tooth abscess and gum infection ..it keeps inflammating..I guess that was my daemon ..must have spread to brain via nerve tissue..
Avatar m tn What about a gum abscess that is being treated with antibiotics? My boyfriend has a gum abscess and he has been prescribed penicillin and topical antibiotics. He says it is getting better, but for some reason his cheek on the other side of his mouth got swollen (maybe unrelated from biting it) and he says the area of the abscess is still a little irritated even after being on antibiotics today.
Avatar f tn I've had an abscess (it's draining and draining and draining) for about 10 years, but it hasn't gone away totally yet, but it's much better than it was initially. I take cod liver oil with butter oil and try to avoid eating a lot of sugar and refined flour. I do have high blood pressure which I heard that it may be caused by a long term infection, so it's something to watch out for. That is SO great your abscess has healed!
Avatar m tn Abscesses can also affect the brain, kidneys, liver (hepatic abscess), lungs, teeth (dental abscess), and tonsils (peritonsillar abscess). Inflammation surrounding hair follicles can lead to the formation of abscesses. Skin abscesses are often referred to as boils. Unlike other infections, antibiotics alone will not cure an abscess. In general, abscesses must open and drain to improve.

984963 tn?1248824964 Hi, There are a few possibilities like brain abscess, brain infection or stroke which can cause headache with paralysis and should be looked into if they have not been ruled out already. Though, it is difficult to give an opinion without a clinical exam and looking at the reports. The next few days will be important and she should be observed closely for any worsening or improvement of symptoms. The earlier you can consult a neurologist the better it will be. Hope this helps!
Avatar m tn However, you are having symptoms. It may take that you will you have journal what is happening to you daily to get the docs to act. Did you get a copy of the second report? Did you see a neurologist? I would go see a neurologist and see that doctor. Get an opinion. I find it strange the second scan did not measure your lesions.
Avatar n tn Today is day three (72 hours), but who's counting? LOL. The support and words of encouragement have been what's gotten me this far. I can't believe I didn't find this sight sooner. You folks are remarkable in your candor and insight. Thank you so much and know that you're helping so many people. Still have fatigue and motivational problems, not to mention the bathroom issues.
Avatar m tn Hello~The hot and cold feelings sound like pinched nerves to me, seeing a chiropractor might help those issues, he/she will take some x-rays, study them and then go over the results with you, after a few treatments, you should feel better. As to the dental abscess, see your dentist ASAP!
Avatar n tn The appearance of these tumors on MRI are distinct and can be differentiated from MS. Infections can also cause lesions in the brain such as cryptococcus, brain abscess, and tuberculosis. I suggest you discuss with your neurologist regarding the MRI findings to know if the characteristics of the lesions would point out to MS or any other conditions that I mentioned above. Wishing you all the best and hope that you and your doctor can get to the bottom of this. Regards and God bless...
Avatar f tn I’m extremely worried that it could be a major infection that can travel to the brain and cause brain injury or damage. I’m wondering if anyone knows any antibiotics that could help until I can afford to see a dentist/specialist. This has been the worst time in my life and I’m having trouble with how I should proceed. Cost is an issue. Perhaps someone out there has been in a similar situation and can provide guidance. Thank you.
644974 tn?1312758070 Are you trying to write a journal through the Journal interface or through the Tracker interface? On My MedHelp, on the Journals panel, you should see a link that says, Write a new journal entry. If you click that, you should see a form that has text boxes for Title, Journal Entry and Tags. Do you see that?
976084 tn?1270872439 I don't want to copy and paste what I wrote in my journal but if someone thinks they might want to help me can you please read it. Thank you for anyone who actually does...
Avatar m tn anyone else doing a pregnancy journal for their child to read once they're older?:) I've been pretty loyal to mine.:) I hope my son will enjoy and appreciate it once he is older.
Avatar n tn If the affected ductus is not sufficiently excised, the SBA is destined to become a problematic chronic recurrent abscess.
Avatar n tn For weeks my back tried to break itself until a doctor found a brain abscess the size and volume of a golf ball on the left side of my brain. I was rushed to surgery which removed the majority of the abscess via a cranyotomy. That portion of my brain was damaged and said to have been destroyed by the abscess.
