I have severe tooth decay for quite sometime and half of my tooth has already disappeared. However, I never had any special pain except a sharp pain whenever I used to drink hot/cold drinks.
Last night suddenly I experienced the worst pain ever. It was so throbbing and I felt like stabbing pain is much, much better than the pain I experienced. It started from the lower jaw last tooth and extended to the back-portion of the brain-1; to the ear-2; to the throat-3. It was a shooting pain lasting for more than 10 minutes. I was just holding breathe, taking short breathes in order to control the pain. It was very severe. This morning I experience it again for 10 minutes and then after a gap of an hour I experienced the same pain. Now, every hal hour I get this pain. After immediately calling up my friend, I took NSAI.
My question is--how long will it take the bacteria to enter the blood. I fear that bacteria entered the blood stream. If that's the case, then is it fatal? I am bit tense.
