Chills down spine - bacterial infection.
Quite frequently throughout the day for last severl weeks I experience a crawling stringy feeling over my face (like walking into spiders web) then shivers doen my spine. I am not cold. Generally feeling not great, tired most of time, not how I normally feel in this fine weather.
Last time I felt like this I had a bacterial infection that took 3 rounds of antiobiotics to clear. Of course the clinicians I saw knew better than to believe I had an infection from the outset and prescribe anl ABX, no they waited until I had it for 6 weeks and it went systemic.
I have recently had dental treatment due to reflux acid damage. Broke so using the dental school (3rd year student) Oct to end of Jan 6 appointments all for total of scale and polish, extraction of a viable tooth and check up. Not even a 180deg X-Ray. Removal of old crown end Jan, temporary crown fitted and replaced with a new one last week, six weeks later. No ABX. Mouth has felt skanky since they started Tx despite good oral hygeine. Wondered if I might have a bacterial infection from the treatment, though I would have though any lymph movement would be unilateral side of the dental Tx. Unilateral nodes up
Is a 6 week wait for a replacement crown excessive?
Wouldn't it be normal to Rx an antibiotic during such treatment? Asked the dentist if crown cement had becteriosatat/cide and she said it hadn;t.
Crown that came off had something in it of bacteriostatic/cidic anti-inflammatory nature incorporated (it smelled of cloves).
Suspect bacterial infection? (guess I've answered my own question)

check your glands on your throat. they are just under your jaw on either side of your voice box. if the feel like really big bumps, its probably an infection of some sort. and like @mkh9 said, check your temperature. hope you feel better. best of luck!
