The retained root is a chronic irritant and source of inflammation, may also currently or become the source of a bacterial infection. Inflammation and infection in the jaw bone is not often apparent on a dental xray until it has become moderate or quite large. It can also be difficult to diagnose at this stage because that area of bone has not healed closed yet below the gum line and it will appear radiolucent (black), the same as an infection.
The sooner you have the root tip removed, the better. Bryanna

I had tooth 31 extracted 1 week ago - extraction went smoothly however two days later started with a sore throat when swallowing, swollen glands and an earache. Two days later I completely lost my voice. Called OS, he said it was unrelated to extraction (even though ALL the issues were on the side of the extraction) told me to follow up with primary care. I did that and he prescribed Levofloxacin a 10 day 1 dose. I am on day 6 and to be honest, I still have swollen painful glands and shooting pains occasionally in my ear. The only thing that seems to help and gets me through the day is Advil. Is this normal?
