My daughter had her wisdom teetChatDoctore in. We ended up moving her surgery date up three weeks due to a severe chronic headache, nausea and vomiting. Dr. Said the teeth were inflamed and one tooth in particular was infected. He removed a cist in the surgery as well and gave her an iv antibiotics. My question is that in addition to the headache which isnt gone, she has this strange hard lumps all over her head and neck. Will this go away as she continues to heal or is this a different thing?
Hello, Bumps on head and neck if they are present under the skin. Then they can be swollen lymph nodes, and they can be very much secondary to tooth related infection. But still, a clinical examination is a must to rule out the exact nature of the bumps. If it is due to infection then yes, it will get better with antibiotics and as the healing will proceed. So it is better to get checked and in case if it is due to infection causing swelling of lymph nodes. A course of antibiotics will be advised along with painkillers so that healing takes places faster. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
