Wow. I had a lot of stress about having peridontitus but I really feel for you. I'd go to the hospital and have some tests done.

Sometimes you can not eliminate the infection totally before removing a tooth. Sometimes the best treatment is to remove the source of the infection. Unless your swelling is still huge, I say it's time to get the thing out. Perhaps go on antibiotics for another week prior, but do it. Now all you need is a doctor who agrees with me.

i think of it would desire to not be a teeth situation considering you had suffered from sinus an infection in the previous there is an danger to relapse, because of the undeniable fact that's a iciness season i'm viewing this as sinus. you bypass and verify alongside with your checklist that's the wisest element you're able to do now, than taking Self drugs because of the fact purely a checklist can discover out what form of soreness and its root reason. So bypass AND MEET your individual surgeon in the initiating.

It needs courage to bear the pain for so long. You may still have some (insurance) juice left in you. See the quick result of infection vanishing once you announce you want dental implant at the site after tooth pulling...

Put all your effort in healing that infection. Make sure you eat nutritious foods, take vitamins, sleep enough hours. Do what it takes to boost your immune system. Get that infection under control and have that tooth pulled.
