and is it possible to up the dose on the antibiotics to make the neck and arm pain diminish?

Yes, an infection can travel through your body.

an infection can travel and a tooth infection can turn into a bld infection and travel. you may want to call your dentist and talk with them. an antibiotic for the tooth infection will not clear up a bld infection if that is what happened, but at the same time you could just have a pulled muscle. i recommend calling your dentist.

Yes, an infection can "travel". It can infect everything around it, the spread in a circular pattern to other tissues or organs. Go see a doctor as soon as you can

yes the infection can definitely travel....and if it is its not a good thing and you need to be seen again and put on different antibiotics....Ive seen this happen a few times in the ER and sometimes the outcome isnt good...especially if you let it continue...so I highly suggest that you quit reading these posts and go to the ER today....

A blood infection can certainly travel.

Get to your doctor immediately. Don't rely on a web site for a health problem. There's no way anybody here can treat you or diagnose you. Call as soon as your doctor's office is open!
