Advice on reoccurring sickness

[big bear]

Hi guys

Just after a bit of advice or what I should do.

Since before Christmas I've had ear/throat infections and my jaw/gum keeps swelling up. I've been on anti-biotics for my ears/throat and just finished a course on Thursday. I woke up on Friday morning & my jaw is swollen.

I'd say since Xmas I've had the ear/throat thing about 4 times and the jaw/gum thing 3 times.

I've been to the dentist & he gave me antibiotics & put a filling in my tooth.

What I'm thinking is they both must be connected???

I'm just so fed up with being constantly sick/feeling ill especially with the 2 wee ones as I can never just rest iykwim.

What would your advice/thoughts be? Has anyone gone through a similiar thing?

yes they probably are connected. you could do with seeing your gp and telling them too. tell them that you've see the dentist and what the dentist did. basically there could be a pocket of infection the dentist has essentially sealed in with your new filling so you'll need strong antibiotics.
you could see the dentist again, but you know... the gp is free
