Root Canal Issue

I agree that getting it checked is a smart idea. I had my wisdom teeth out on Wed. March 16th. I discovered an infection on Friday night, the 20th. It's been a nightmare since then. I was put on stronger antibiotics and I thought I was doing better, but then I got worse. On Friday, the 25th I ended up in the hospital, the infection was in my left tonsil and spread to my left ear and into my throat. I was in the hospital for 48+ hours of IV antibiotics and steroids. I came home last night. I'm doing better, the infection is nearly gone, but I still need to be on some pretty strong oral meds for another week. I was told it's pretty rare for an infection to spread the way it with me, but it obviously can happen. Do get it checked, just to be on the safe side.

You sound like you've been to the edge of misery! I am SO sorry to hear what you've been through.
