hello Im  a woman the age of 44, and for the first time i ever got a toothache, then 2 week later got my first abscess, and it went down then 1 week it came back on the other side of my gum. so my doctor put me on some amoxicillin 3 times a day. then it burst in my mouth and it just seems like it was leaking. for a couple of days. so Im asking do you thank it got into my bloodstream. my finger has a lump or bump on it it hurts, what should i do, or how can i tell if its in my bloodstream.
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that you have got a dental abscess, and it has led to lump inside mouth due to pus accumulation in the soft tissues. Commonly it is a localized infection and does not get into blood stream but at times it can enter blood stream and can cause septicemia and lead to symptoms like Fever. But formation of a lump on the finger is not appearing related to dental abscess and does not seem to be due to entering of blood into blood stream. So I would suggest you to consult a General Physician and get evaluated for your finger that can b due to bacterial infection or some other causes. For dental abscess consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation can be done. You can be advised treatments like Root Canal Treatment or Extraction depending upon condition of tooth followed by antibiotics and painkillers. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards.
