Had a flu recently & off the back off that a new tooth abyss (last one I had was during/after covid & had a hell of a time with it+ finding a dentist who litterally did nothing as it was nhs care & i needed far more work to stop other teath flaring up then what was initially booked in for so just antibiotics & new appointment that never came to pass ects.)
But this time around its come back with a vengeance- my whole face is swollen/distorted from ear to bottom lip though I did get in earlier this time with alternative treatments (washing out mouth/antibiotics ect.)
On one hand I'm happy its no longer traveling downwards into neck & jaw like on the first day i started trying to get medication & taking pain relief on the other hand I'm freaking out its worst then before- can barely close my mouth/proper face dostortion more then a lump
Could this be caused by constantly 'numbing' it & washing it put??? & is it better then jaw/neck pain which is completely free off now. ?
Yes I know I need a dentist but absolutely can't get private care
