infection

Avatar n tn More recently, I have had constant chills, night sweats, and more palpitations plus I have noticed red spots on my palms and a large bleed under one of my toenails. All my bloodwork is within normal range. Could I have an infection in the lining of my heart? I had rheumatic fever as a young child, mononucleosis as a teenager, and gum disease requiring surgery. Has something been missed?
Avatar n tn I had a gum infection about a month ago and the dentist put me on antibiotics and i took the full course. I thought that had got rid of the infection because i didn't have the vile taste in my mouth that i had. I worrying today because i can taste the taste i had when i had the infection. The other day i kissed and was intimate with a man and i thought it had cleared so i didn't worry about the infection that day.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with herpes and I get occasional outbreaks, gum disease, fasciitis in hands/feet/knee - all these were diagnosed a few years back by my doctor. I did have some type of rash on my chest but I had it before this incident, so it might be unrelated. I had an HIV test on January 21 and it was negative. I also had an HIV test back on April 2010 and it was also negative These symptoms were just weird for me. My belly was itching, but I did not see any bumps.
796579 tn?1266432024 Hi Nicole, I would only add that untreated dental disease may lead to a number of other systemic ailments as bacteria which live just under the gum line often enter into the bloodstream during normal eating motions. Infection of the heart valves and organs with numerous blood vessels are typical sites of new infection from dental disease. In people, even pancreatic cancer has been linked to gum and tooth disease.
Avatar n tn BECAUSE OF MY INSURANCE, I HAD TO WAIT 3 WEEKS FOR THE CAT SCAN. THE PAIN WAS HORRIBLE - A FEW TIMES SHE WOULD INJECT NOVACAINE IN THE GUM AREA TO RELIEVE THE PAIN. ON CHRISTMAS EVE, THE PAIN BECAME SO UNBEARABLE. MY HUSBAND PICKED UP A PRESCRIPTION OF DEMEROL, WHICH HELPED SOME. IN JANAURY 2008, THE CAT SCAN WAS DONE. IT DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE HOLE WHERE THE TOOTH WAS. IN MID-JANUARY, THE ORAL SURGEON OPENED THE AREA WHERE THE TOOTH WAS. SHE CLEANED IT OUT AND DID A BIOPSY.
Avatar m tn but my cat had this and could not eat, groom, play, swallow--did not even want water it was so painful. The gum infection can spread to the sinuses also. Anyway check back with your vet and see if perhaps this is the beginning of this condition. I say this because when my Meezy had a full blown outbreak of this her lymph nodes on either side of her neck were very swollen--making it difficult for her to swallow. Sure hope it is not Stomatitis.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed a ten day course of clindamycin for a gum infection, which it took care of. Six weeks later I developed severe diarrhea with terrible gut pain and fever. Had blood and mucous in stools an perhaps some intestinal lining. I lost 10 lbs and was very weak and the thought of food made me feel sick.. Emergency room diagnosed clostridium difficile after stool samples and CAT scan. I was put on a 14 day, 4x/day course of oral solution vancomycin which solved the problem.
152660 tn?1291755571 Hi Ali, When his eyes swell up and close is there yellow goop sticking them closed?? If so this is Herpes Upper Respiratory Sydrome, and is so common in kittens. Sometimes their mom passes it onto them. My Cat , Meezy< has had herpes and this makes her immune compromised. Look for signs of gum disease (Stomatitis) this sometimes goes hand and hand. Herpes if very common and it will bring repeated colds, watering eyes, runny nose, and sneezing.
Avatar n tn My kitten was found with his incisor & gum ripped almost out of his mouth. It has been seveal days and it is now puss colored and it also smells bad. i know that it is infected. His tooth sticks out the side of his mouth. I can not afford to bring him to the vet. is it alright to put peroxcide in his mouth .... just a little... to clean and disinfect the wound. i dont know if it is poisonous to cats or not. please help me! i dont want to loose him!
Avatar m tn Days after a fistula appeared on the gum and I suffered massive head pain as the infection drained. However the infection persists. Had tooth x-rays, CAT scans, MRI s, seen a dozen doctors, dentists , ENTs. Nobody believes me. I know I'm sick, I know my body (been in it for over 60 years) Sometimes feel near death.
12182312 tn?1427683956 It hurts to eat , brush or do anything. If I go to touch the gum I only have to slightly tap it , they are extremely tender. I'm going to go back to my surgeon to have a look. Has this happened to anyone? I've been taking ibuprofen for pain and I'm on an antibiotic also but my gums are killing me.
Avatar m tn My wonderful 15 year old cat went to his 6 month exam in July and was declared to be in fabulous health, with few signs of aging. He returned for his 6 month exam yesterday and seems to have a swollen, reddened gum around his right front canine. The vet did a full blood panel, and recommended dental surgery to remove the tooth as soon as possible. He has no other symptoms that reddening and the tooth is neither loose nor unstable in any way. Is there a more holistic approach we should look at?
874521 tn?1424116797 t show much pain - more as I go along) cavity in the mouth and the gum line gets red and irritated and the gum line gets infected. (More on gum issues and how it affects the rest of the body and why bloodwork is VERY beneficial.) When there is a tooth defect and the tooth gets "pulled" - where is the tooth going to break? -- at the cavity/defect - of course. That leaves the remaining root/root tip in the mouth. That is an OPEN nerve left in the mouth.
Avatar f tn I had a root canal in one of my lower molars some years ago, and recently the gum around it became inflamed. I went for my normal check-up and the dentist said that it was infected and prescribed antibiotics (I finished the prescribed course). She also told me to brush three times a day. I went back the next week, as the filling fell out of it, and she said that it was looking better, re-filled the tooth and recommended Corsodyl for a couple of weeks.
Avatar f tn My sister, loves animals, last fall while driving she picked up a stray kitten, from the road side, it was a very sick kitten to begin with, upon taking it to the Vet, near by, it was diagnosed with upper respiratory infection, which had damaged its one eye, it has pressure on his eye, and a thin white covereing over the eye, and may have to have it surgicaly removed, he has been neutured, and declawed, once of age.
Avatar n tn MY CAT WAS OUT ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT AND CAME HOME THIS MORNING. HE WAS FINE ALL DAY UNTIL MY DAD SAID HE HAD A CUT UNDER HIS CHIN OR SOMETHING. I LIFTED UP HIS CHIN AND THERE IS A CIRCULAR CUT..A WOUND AND THERE IS A THING INSIDE OF IT. IT'S A WHITE THING BUT IT'S NOT A BONE. I DON'T THINK IT'S PUS BECAUSE IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING HARD AND SOFT. IT'S LIKE A YELLOW WHITE AND IT SMELLS REALLY BAD. THIS CUT/WOUND IS SURROUNDED BUT A PATCH OF MISSING FUR.
Avatar f tn She has x-rayed the tooth (it had a root canal years ago) and says that the root canal is intact, and that the infection is in a pocket between the tooth and the gum. She advised increased dental hygiene in order to shift the infection, and said that there was nothing else she could do beyond extracting the tooth. Since then I have been beyond meticulous in trying to keep my teeth clean.
Avatar n tn I can understand the mint obsession. My cat has a major mint/spearmint fetish. She will go after my gum in my purse-whole head in the purse! LOL Or, if God forbid, if I have it sitting there she'll chew on it with the wrapper on! It's funny, but it bothers me too because I don't know if it's safe. If I were you, I'd do some on-line searches to see what you come up with about the mint tea to see if it's safe. That is your best bet.
Avatar n tn Since that time, I have always been sensitive to that tooth, my tongue constantly touching it, and every time I mentioned it to the dentist or dental assistants, they say the crown and gum look fine. I have always had sinus infections in the past, they seem to come as the common cold for me. Christmas 2018, I had a sinus infection which included an enormous amount of tooth pain.

Avatar f tn Hi my cats been vomiting lately every day once sometime twice he also when he sleeping his whole body start to shake for a few second then look okay and his hair look like it have gum but there none all over his top body i cut it and it come back .
Avatar n tn Hi megs222726, I just read your comments. First of all I wouldn't push on the outside of your gum. If you think there is a possible infection, I think I would get yourself an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible. Infections in the mouth can get quite serious. You should be seen by your dentist asap, i.e. some time within the next 2 - 3 days if not sooner. An acquaintance of our family passed away as a result of a tooth infection. He was faily elderly and had other issues.
Avatar f tn I recently notice my right side of my face around the gum area sowllen and I have a big red bumb were the tooth is .. What should I do?
Avatar n tn Hi Sevina, from what i have heard, a gum abscess is an infection and the puss coming out is evidence. You really should see your dentist about this and get some antibiotics to clear it up.
