What Causes Recurring Tooth Infection And Swollen Lymph Nodes?
I have been being treated for a infection in my tooth for 2 years, followed by a root canal then a surgery after the root canal didnt work. I have taken antiobiotics on and off for 2 years and the problem goes away afer abou 2 rounds then comes back. I have sinus pressure on that same side. After having the dental surgery I still have the same problem and dentist said the tooth healed correctly and the bone grew back like it should. They have referred me to a head, nose and throat dr. my glads tend to swell on that same side. what could this be. i have been told that my sinuses are very deep
You did not mention your age.Frequent antibiotic usage is not recommended. You did not mention what your ENT specialist concluded.
Sinusitis can frequently show up as toothache.I recommend you to get treated for sinusitis first. This should ideally reduce this radiating pain to the jaw. Also rule out infection in other teeth.
