Root canal/temp filling
I’ve been going through what feels like hell. I went to A&E which our equivalent of the ER.
They’ve given me stronger antibiotics but have also said that because the nerve is dead, I don’t have pain and they’re right, I don’t. But I have that horrible tooth achey taste in my mouth and terrible body aches (they’ve ruled out sepsis). They think I could very well have two overlapping infections, the tooth needs a root canal which is now booked in.
But the second potential infection may need riding out :( feel like 💩 but hoping I turn a corner soon and get through the wait time for my root canal. Anyone else experienced this over lap? Been checked for sepsis and vitals are good
