This happened to me. I had a abcessed tooth, was put on antibiotics, later that same day I went to ER cuz the pallet under my tongue was swollen up. They immediately took me back to surgery to drain the contents and boom all a sudden I wake up from anesthesia just for them to tell me I had been in ICU for 4 days. Talk about the most strangest feeling knowing 4 days had passed without u knowing. Afterwards I had SO much trouble finding a dentist to pull my tooth even though the abcess was gone. Then after 2 days of being turned down by dentists and being scared for my life(literally) I finally found an amazing oral surgeon to do it. Omg that was a very scary time for me. This was about 18 years ago now.
My mother suffered from this and it's a rare infection. I was so scared because the doctors at my local town were not sure they would be able to treat it.
I’ve just had this. Month post op. Dentist injected it making it worse and the hospital sent me away with tonsillitis spray (could clearly see something major was wrong and laughed at me.) saw a private dentist and he rushed me to hospital. Once there they rushed me to a more advanced hospital. As I got to surgery my airways shut down. Was the scariest thing I’ve ever been through. I was literally suffocating.
Keep mouth clean and not with regular tooth past but use oil pulling and salt pulling or clove oil and peroxide.Also peroxide will foam and lift particles out of the tooth and gum.I have this and was broke at the time and my condition was that I could not open my mouth and my neck got real stiff and everyday it got worse until I started these protocols and now I am cured.Remember. swish the peroxide at least 10 min in mouth or longer so the peroxide goes in deep and makes good contact under the gums.
