I had a very deep cut in my finger and now I have extreme tooth and head pain.Did I get an infection???

Question

Is it possible for the bad cut I had to give me a disease or bacteria to enter into my system and give me pain in my head and teeth??

Answer 1

I seriously doubt that the head and teeth pain is related to the cut on your finger. The only thing I could think of that could be secondary to a cut that would result in head and jaw (tooth?) pain would be tetanus. Tetanus in general is rare in the United States and other nations with tetanus vaccination programs — fewer than 50 cases of tetanus are reported each year in the United States. However, the head pain could most certainly be secondary to tooth pain. I think the cut is okay, and you just have a bad toothache. Not to make light of it.....I think toothache is second only to childbirth on the pain scale.

Answer 2

Call a doctor right away & tell him. He'll probably tell you to come right on in. A deep cut can cause all kinds of problems. I figure he'd give you a Tetanus Shot, too, to prevent Lock Jaw, & put you on some Antibiotics & stuff. Even a Minor Cut can get infected. Pick up the phone.; like right now

Answer 3

No the chances are that you have a tooth in need of fixing, and this is just a bad coincidence.
If you had an infection you would see red streaking from the cut area, associated with burning and pain.
The haedache can also be attributed to the tooth ache.
Sorry, it's just not your lucky day!

If I was you I'd contact your psychologist sooner and make an earlier appointment, they can do that for situations like this. Secoundly talk to people. You may not feel like you need it but you do, people with depression often can't keep track of there real emotions and realty. And thridly distract yourself, yeah it's near impossible but try. I get in sucidal moods sometimes and the key is distraction. Music, friends text, whatever works for you. Just get through it, the moment pass's. Don't worry about telling your teacher she won't be dispointed she'd MUCH rather you tell her then anything happen. Please get help before the 26th, it's much to far away. I didn't get more help when I needed it and I ended up in a pysch ward for a month. It sucks and it gets worse don't wait, and talk or distract for now. Good luck, you can do it.

Answer 5

yes an infection in your hand can cause systemic infections that could localise anywhere in your body. check the lymph glands under your arms. are they swollen and sore. and infection in your hand should lodge there first. if you are immunosuppressed then it is possible the infection would get further. I think myself it is more likely you have a tooth ache that is giving you the head ache however, go see a dentist or a doctor.

Answer 6

Possibly. Is your finger throbbing, red, swollen, warm? If so you need to get it checked anyway. Or you could just have back luck and have a toothache which can give you a headache as well. Take some pain relief medication and call the dr.

Answer 7

the tooth and head pain is probably just a coincidence, if it was infected it would usually turn an ugly colour(the cut)

Answer 8

either u need a tetanus shot or the headaches and toothache is random. Did u get the cut from some type of metal. If so, go to ur doctor ASAP. u could die.

Answer 9

I think you might need to go to the doc to get some antibiotics! Is the cut red and swollen? Was it cut on something rusty? dirty? If it keeps up go to dr.

Answer 10

Anything is Possible, but I agree that it is probably coincidence, but if it is serious then you may consider a tetnus shot. See your Doctor
