Suggest Treatment For Tooth Infection

My wife has an infection after having two root canals on the same tooth,she has had a fever and can hardly open her mouth for nearly a month. She has returned to her dentist but the problem still exists,now she is getting head aches,nausea,and some blood in her nose.Is this problem getting serious enough as she should go to a hospital?

Hi

Thanks for writing in.

If she is having abscess again in same tooth then its better to get it extracted as earliest as possible.
Meanwhile you may start with a course of analgesic & antibiotic for 5 days.
Consult your dentist for further treatment plan.
