Hi MoparDakota,

Yes, a tooth infection or infection in the jaw bone is not something that should be taken for granted because it can lead to serious and even life threatening problems.

If the bump did not contain pus at any time, then it may have been associated with your other condition. Have you ever experienced mouth sores when you've had a Crohn's flare up? That is not unusual.

Antibiotics should only be taken when there is an infection that warrants medication. Otherwise, the immune system should be allowed to do it's job and the meds should be avoided. In your case, your immune system is not real healthy due to the Crohn's. However, taking an antibiotic unnecessarily could cause you to encounter some major intestinal complications.

When you get back home, please go see your dentist for an evaluation of that area. A couple of periapical xrays of that area would be wise so as to rule out problems that are not clinically visible.

Please keep us posted..
Bryanna

That spot I had is gone after the third time if popped it and felt fairly I'll it's gone healed completely as if it were never there? I still have my stomach issues like normal but no more fever nothing. Is it possible my body was able to fight the infection? I did rinse everyday, ate healthy, stayed rested, but I didn't take any antibiotics? From what I've been told a tooth infection is one of the worst infections you can have?[/QUOTE]
