Infection


well today i found out that I have an ear infection which has spread down and caused an abscess in my mouth and i feel like its trying to move down into my neck. its causing me unbearable toothaches throughout the day that i can barely cope with. i was thinking of calling my dr on monday as he's not open tomorrow and seeing if he could prescribe me an antibiotic or something to help the infection go away its either that or 1. sit here and suffer or 2. go to the hospital tomorrow and let one of the ER drs prescribe it for me. could this infection hurt LO?

If so I'm thinking I'll just go on to the hospital tomorrow as they work very closely with my dr in just about all their pregnant cases so anything they gave me he would be informed of if not consulted on any help is appreciated at this point I'm completely at the end of my rope with this pain

Bless your heart! I went through this same thing this past week. Your best bet is to go to the ER 2maro and get it treated as soon as possible. Try to rest. I was told heat will help with the pain and swelling. I took Tylenol for pain.

Take care hun
