Infection sets in and you feel very ill all over.  Abscesses and dental decay and gum disease are all bad for you.  If you start taking care of the problems you will start feeling better.

I have this same problem. I havent had the tooth pulled yet but I am on antibiotics. The pain is gone, but my lip and chin are still numb. It has been 3.5 days that I have been on antibiotics and I have an appointment to get the tooth pulled in 4 days
