Impish Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 *insert primal scream here* So, went to the clinic. Was supposed to go yesterday, but didn't manage it. Anyways. The major huge, swollen, painful, can be actually SEEN as a huge lump under my skin lymph nodes are absolutely fighting infection, and its absolutely to do with the massive dental infection I had before Christmas. Ya know...before I had the dental surgery, I had ppl telling me how much better I'd feel once it was done, etc. Yeah. Right. I just HAVE to be different. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halftime Hope Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm so sorry this didn't go smoothly for you. I know it's not much consolation, but those lymph nodes are doing their thing! At least they're working correctly, right? (So sez my dd's doc, when she gets one that's swollen...) Are they putting you on abx again? If not, do you have any essential oils? Some of them (oregano, in particular) are *very effective* infection fighters. I'm fond of YLEO as a source for really pure, unadulterated theraputic oils, as opposed to aromatic oils which can have all kinds of crud added to them. Just a thought...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 My dh who has had lots of dental infections ,swishes his mouth with hydrogen peroxide and then spits it out. Both his Dr. and his dentist approve this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both his Dr. and his dentist approve this. Oh, Imp -- I am so sorry to read this, but sweetie :grouphug: (go ahead and smack me), please hang in there. And, my dd does what Jean has suggested above. In fact, she swears by hydrogen peroxide - she even cleans with it - you know, surfaces and all. And, I know it stinks, but your lymph nodes are doing their job.:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubamama Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 YIKES! :grouphug: a gentle hug.... I would be bathing in hydrogen peroxide in an attempt to just cover all my bases :tongue_smilie: Maybe if it makes you foam at the mouth you could get the dentist's attention!

Even the Dr looked to see if there was any redness/swelling, and nope, its stuck it the lymph nodes, period.

Impish Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 I meant that the only symptom I have is the incredibly swollen lymph nodes, and occasional fever. Wolf said last night, "You have jowls. You don't normally have jowls." Thanks a lot, Dear :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was talking about how swollen under my jaw is, along with my neck. I didn't realize that there WAS swelling until the Dr probed it and I just about hit the ceiling. I wanna crawl in bed...but he's supposed to be going out, so I get bedtime detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
