All physicians and dentists know that oral infections of any area of the mouth, teeth, gums and jawbone have the potential of becoming systemic.

So why this ENT is not admitting the probability of this in your case is puzzling to me.
Why did you choose Levaquin oral over the IV antibiotics? Did your doctor (dentist of physician?) discuss the pros and cons about each administration route of medication?

The ENT said that Pseudomonas definitely was not caused from a tooth infection. Do you think it can be? The IV antibiotics have some nasty side effects such as hearing loss and kidney problems. They told me Levaquin is strong and will knock out most sinus infections. I am doing the Tobramycin nasal wash though. That is an IV antibiotic.
