Suggest Remedy For Acute Tonsillitis And Tooth Disease
I have had an abscessed tooth, after popping the bubble on my gum, white pussy stuff came out, I popped it and spit it out, careful not to swallow any but the next morning my lymph nodes were swollen, my tonsils are swollen, including my tongue and lower palette on the left side. I went to the ER and they diagnosed me with acute tonsillitis and tooth disease. They prescribed me antibiotics and told me to take Tylenol ad use throat spray. I have also been using orajel. I went to sleep 4 hours ago and when I woke up I noticed a tiny amount of blood in my saliva. When I looked under my tongue my palette is extremely swollen, all the way to the top of my teeth on the left side. Around my teeth is all white and past that it looks like bruised and bloody sot of. WHAT DO I DO!?

With you query,
I really dont understand what do you mean by ER and coming to your problem you might have had an Posterior tooth infection with deep dental dental caries which resulted in periapical abscess or dento-alveolar abscess through which the infection would have spread over to the posterior tooth areas resulting inflammation and infection of the mentioned areas like tonsils and palate.Generally, when there is a tooth infection one will have swollen lymph nodes or palpable lymph nodes which are first defense system for locally infected areas.Hence, i request you to visit an endodontist or oral surgeon along with ENT Specialist opinion.
