Reply To: Tooth abscess advice PLEASE

[pakpak]

Once you take antibiotics the abscess should reduce or disappear altogether – the idea of the thing “bursting” is making me wince! I’ve dug a couple of people up – long dead Time Team stuff – who had abscesses in life that blew holes down through their jaw bones!!! Ah, the Good Old Days full of dripping pustulent peasants eh?

Keep taking the proper prescription drugs and do go back to your medic if the pain and soreness persists – be careful what drugs you take with you anywhere near an airport!!!

One of my mates had a bullet pass through one cheek and out the other taking six teeth and half his tongue wherever it went – another fine instance of “if you can’t take a joke, you shouldn’t have joined”.
