Suggest Treatment For Headaches, Neck Pain And Clogged Ears
Question: I have had an impacted wisdom tooth that has got infected 4 times over
the past year. It has given me mild headaches, neck pain, very clogged up ear/ears
and left me with a low amount of energy.
I have been getting rid of the infections with supplements, esp. black fermented garlic
and colloidal silver. So it has come and went 4 times now over the past year.
Just over the past week or so, my feet, ankles and calves became swollen.
(I don't get swollen feet, ankles and calves ... not even when I was pregnant twice).
The swelling went from worse to better to worse and so on. Now... over the past week my abdominal cavity has swollen up like a hard, over pumped basketball. I don't feel well and have low energy.
I had set up an appointment to have my wisdom tooth removed but I don't know that this would be the best time to have it removed until I address these issues.
My urine is from light yellow to orange sometimes. I do not have any pain except the discomfort of the swelling in all areas I mentioned. What do you think is going on?? Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Wisdom tooth infection, extraction, intestinal obstruction,
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. As far as the pain in the wisdom tooth, ear and head can be because of the infection of the gums around the wisdom tooth which we call it as pericoronitis. Since it is repeatedly troubling you, it is better to get the tooth removed under local anesthesia. The natural medicines will not give you permanent relief. So get the tooth removed by consulting an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
Regarding the swelling in the abdomen, it can be because of obstruction in the intestine or ascites. The swelling in feet, ankle and legs can be because of either renal or cardiac issues. So consult a general physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a complete blood investigations to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any queries reply me back.
Take care
