Brief Answer:
Abscessed tooth does not cause brain aneurysm..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that if you have an abscessed tooth it can lead to headache as a radiating pain from the infected tooth site but is not seen to cause brain aneurysm as tooth abscess that is not yet causing severe symptoms like swelling on face and severe pain etc is completely unlikely to spread to brain.

Secondly although you took antibiotics multiple times but you can get relieved only after getting the tooth treated as only medication is not the option for complete resolution of infection..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray can help in ruling out the exact condition of the tooth..

If tooth can be saved then Root Canal Treatment of tooth can be done to save the tooth and also relieve pain..
In case if there is Gross decay extraction/removal of tooth is advised..

Any further questions are welcome..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
