I had to have a retreat in my molar Tuesday by an endo Dr. due to the fact the Dentist did not do accurately.. I also have RA, and am not taking meds due too infection anywhere can kill you..I have been on some type of auto immune drug though for about six months. It didnt really hurt I just saw on the PA where I had his assisstant take a photo.. My glands, kneck, ears, throat and face are swollen. Plus I am running a light fever . I just feel bad all over specially my head. I am taking three clindamycin three times a day for ten days. Do you think if not better tomorrow I should go to the hospital considering its the weekend.. Thanks for all of your help Michelle Blankenship
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, according to the history provided by you it's not at all clear that what treatment did your dentist perform on your tooth. But anyway I can understand that you are having symptoms due to some kind of infection, which may or may not be linked to your tooth, until clinically checked. Also, clindamycin alone will not help in resolving the infection, therefore kindly visit your dentist, get your teeth checked thoroughly and let him/her prescribe you antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. Just be calm and meet your dentist soon, i wish you good health, take care
