I am here. The removal was ok and he took a culture. The Dr spent much time manually cleaning the area with an antibiotic. Last night was very painful, but today I feel better. Right this moment, my ear pain is only a two or three, but that fluctuates and I've been fooled many times thinking it is better and then it gets very painful. I have a low grade fever of 100.1 still and my blood pressure remains high, sometimes dangerously so. I have an emergency appt with a cardiologist very soon. I'm on a high dosage of antibiotics, have doubled my bp medication and am to start a Medrol pack in about a day. I am hopeful that things will improve. This toothp started with no pain six months ago when the
Onlay fell off....worsening all the time. The last 3 to 4 weeks have been over the top disturbing. I am trying to keep optimistic with this surgery and tx. I tell everyone to be extra cautious with dental tx these days.
