Rusty Gilbert;3416801; said:o it was painful the tooth i had the root canal done on was highly infected so it was shooting pain up to my eyes and chin horrible. But im feeling better now jus looks like the infection may have spread or something bc iam now sick
I can relate to that. I was off work all of last week. The pain was terrible but my primary care physician thought I had the flu and possibly swine flu. I had a nasal swab done and the next day I found out it wasn't the flu. I ended up going to the dentist on Thursday and found out it was an abscessed tooth that was infected. They gave me z-pac, penecillin, and loritabs to get me through until I could get in for the root canal.
