<s>[INST] Hi I had a abscessed tooth that had broken in half vertically , I went to the dentist in pain and thought I would get antibiotics at least for a week, I have always heard it was dangerous to pull a abscessed tooth. It was pulled on Tuesday and I am wondering if the infection could have gotten in my bloodstream , I am really tired and have no energy, Just doing little things around the house I get short of breath, [/INST] Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM team.Understanding your concern. As per your query you had extraction of abscessed tooth which could leads to spread of infection at times if not done properly as it is always advisable to have proper course of antibiotics to subside infection and then go for extraction.I would suggest to do warm saline rinses or baking soda rinses 3-4 times a day ,they will be very helpful in relieving symptoms. You should visit dentist once and get complete examination done and go for X-ray of tooth to detect if any fragment of tooth chip is there. Start proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medications for faster healing. Maintain hygiene.Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari </s>
