Feel Nauseous, Fatigue. Hurting Tooth. Root Canal Tooth. Ate Some Old Potato. Suggestions?
I have felt nausous, dizzy and faint like, fatigue with stomache pain for the last 36 hours. I'm afraid I might have taken too many Alive for my athritis pain. Also i have a tooth that suddenly started hurting. I have made a dentintal appointment. The tooth is a root canal. Also ate some potato salad yesterday that might have been too old. It tasted ok but was left over from Labor Day dinner

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
According to the history given by you I would like to suggest you few things.
Nausea,dizziness and stomach pain could be due to stomach infection due to consumption of stale food products.
Toothache is probably due decay.To confirm the diagnosis an x ray is required.
Coming to intake of pain killers for arthritis,I would say please see your physician for correct dosage,as too much of any medication can lead to adverse effects on your vital organs like kidney,brain and heart.thus avoid self medication please.
finally i would like to say visit your dentist first,get the tooth examined.your dentist might prescribe you antibiotics and necessary analgesics for three days.
This will take care of other symptoms too.
if you donot feel better even after taking prescribed medication then you can see your gastroenterologist for further help.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Stomach upset can be due to the antibiotics prescribed to you and eating of something unfresh.
For toothache i would suggest you to consult to the Dentist and get the checkup done take an x-ray of the infected tooth.
If required re-RCT can be performed.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics consulting your Physician.
Take care!
