Avatar n tn A tooth abscess is a pocket of pus that's caused by a bacterial infection. The abscess can occur at different regions of the tooth for different reasons. A periapical (per-e-AP-ih-kul) abscess occurs at the tip of the root, whereas a periodontal (per-e-o-DON-tul) abscess occurs in the gums next to a tooth root. The information here refers specifically to periapical abscesses.
Avatar m tn I wanted to know if these symptoms were brain abscess symptoms. I am a bit of a hypacondriact and I always think the worst is happening when it's usually very normal issues.

Avatar n tn Some of your symptoms like tightening around the neck, ear, and gum pressure could have been due to dental abscess. However it is very unlikely that tingling numbness in the feet is due to dental abscess. I would suggest you to get your blood sugar levels checked to rule out diabetes. Nerve compression and peripheral vascular disease also cannot be ruled out. Please discuss these possibilities with your treating doctor. Take care!
Avatar f tn You have already been taking antibiotics but the symptoms have worsened so you may need draining of the abscess and using antibiotics to treat non-serious infections and for a prolonged period can make them less effective at treating more serious infections causing antibiotic resistance. Amoxicillin is drug of choice.Metrogyl can be used as an alternative drug. A dental examination and X-rays are important for correct diagnosis and management of your condition.
Avatar n tn I initially thought it was a dental abscess, but I am not so sure anymore. No fever, or chills. I have had some sinus issues for a while now burning eyes, sensitivity to light, one sided sore throat, and phantom tooth pain. All of theses symptoms seem to come, and go on a weekly basis. I have also spoken to a ENT about these problems. The throat he diagnosed as GERD, but the prilosec hasn't seemed to help. Sore throat comes, and goes.

1399266 tn?1280637104 My 8 year old cat, Kupid was diagnosed with a dental abscess about a week ago and put on clindamycin 1 ml twice a day. When she started she had a pink drainage coming from her right eye and right nostril. Her eye has gotten better and her nose has slightly improved. She is still sneezing and looks terrible but she is eating on her own. This cat has failed the pre anesthesia test twice after having complications during her spay surgery so we are reluctant to put her under to pull her tooth.
