Bloody Wisdom Teeth

For the last 2-3 years i have been having episodes of swollen glands mainly near my throat and also a number of throat infection which were cleared by antibiotics. finally my dentist found that I have impacted wisdom teeth on all four sides. The 4 wisdom and 4 molars are all inside horizontally going head-to-head. Also in my lower jaw my dentist said that I have periodontal pockets (15mm deep), which are slightly white on the top. I am scheduled to extract them very soon. My question is whether it is known for such a condition to cause general illness, mild tiredness, stomach issues (such as diarrhea > week) etc?

It is certainly plausible that the wisdom teeth can cause glands in the neck to be swollen. If the teeth are infected that can cause a general malaise. I am not too sure about the stomach issues. Could be from the antibiotics.

Hi,

Just read your post and I wanted to ask you if you have been on any antibiotics recently.  If so, I would call your dr about the diarreah (diarrhea) >1 week.....actually you should call them anyways.  That stuff should not last more than 2 or 3 days.

Hi Gina, Thanks for your reply. I was on Ciproflaxocin antibiotics for 5 days, which my doctor does not think is related to the diarrhea as they normally perscribe this to stop diarrhea. I have today gone for a stool sample test. See what happens.

Wisdom teeth that are impacted and cause infection can make you sick all over your body.  I'm glad you have an appointment soon, the relief of getting them out is like bliss!
