If someone asked me how I'm doing today, I'd say I've been better. My top left wisdom tooth is trying to erupt and when it does it's fairly normal for the gums to become inflamed and be sore. Now, after about 4 days, I'm certain it has an abscess somewhere. Not only is it painful, but that pain has spread to my sinus as well
Even my jaw and ear are feeling a bit funny today. So I've left a message on my dentist's answering machine to call me so I can book an appointment. I'm having this thing looked at. I'll take antibiotics if I have to and then I'm getting it pulled out. If I don't get it out this is only going to happen again and again. I'm really hoping I can get it pulled next week or, if I have to take antibiotics, as soon as I'm done the regimen. I don't have coverage, but my sweetie has said he'll pay for it, thank goodness. Even if it happens to feel better tomorrow I'm still going in for an assessment and booking the extraction appointment. Then it's T3s, smoothies and couch for me. Good thing I took some books out at the library today, although I doubt I'll be able to stay awake with codeine in my system, lol. Anyway, I totally understand why babies are so grumpy when they are teething. Poor little things.
