Multiple tooth abcesses

[cleome24]

My husband has had three abcesses in the last 6 months. He has had different problems with fatigue, energy, miniscus repair.He has traveled to 42 countries so I suspect some kind of infection but the infectious disease doc says nothing shows up. Preantibiotics for the teeth, he did have one blood tests show high CED rate and also was told he had leaky heart valves. My question is what kind of disease, besides dental, could cause tooth abcesses, miniscus problems, fatigue, muscle soreness? I am very worried hope someone can help.

Elevated SED rate means there is inflammation. Actinmycosis is a disease that can cause these absesses and also wreak havoc on other systemic  systems. Some of the symptoms you describe are very similiar. Men are more likely to get this and it is seen more often in cultures with less sub standard living conditions. Possibly caught when traveling abroad. Antibiotics can cure this. Consult with a licensed physician.  Good Luck.
