Hi Rosegirl,

Tooth infections do filter through the blood stream and it is not uncommon for the person with a tooth infection to become unwell.

Did you see the dentist?

I don't have any swelling and I'm not experiencing any tooth pain right now. Just a slightly sore throat, fever, stuffy nose and headache. Well, I now have a strange feeling it's because of my tooth and I know fever is a bad sign. I am doing a walk-in to a local dentist 7 in the morning because I am freaking out.

Is this a sign that the infection could be possibly traveling to my bloodstream?
