Long story short it was really hard to finally get the answer that it needed to be pulled….they tried a root canal first. The surgeon was very booked so I made the appointment last month for this next week. For the last three weeks I have had a fever (99.8-101 range) constantly….I was told when I asked that it was because of the infection. They have put me on 3 rounds of antibiotics with no sauces. This last weekend my neck and throat started to hurt…not mussel pain…just hurt. I called the dentist today and he said that it sounds like it might be Meningitis. He said we should pull it tomorrow. I googled that though and it sounds serious. If it is that than will it just go away after the tooth get’s pulled. Right now my fever is 101 and I can barely move my neck…I am worried.
Thanks!
