Okay so to make a very long story short, I have a couple of decaying teeth that are both decayed past my gumline. I have an appointment to get them taken out on march 5th(very soonest I could be seen). Anyways, besides for some annoying pain that comes and goes, the tooth doesn't experience that much pain. I have had am extremely infected tooth before (twice) and the pain was absolutely unbearable, this tooth is nowhere close to hurting that bad. Anyways, on feb 1st my tonsils became swollen with blisters, had white spots on back of throat, light body aches and some ear aching too. I went to the doctor and they said probably a throat infection and gave me antibiotics which helped everything except for the swollen tonsils, blisters on tonsils and white spots on throat. I also have a hard knot/gland on the back of my neck right under of my hairline. It hurts sometimes but not bad and it hasn't grown or anything. The doctor also said I had some swollen glands in my throat. That was 17 days ago and all those symptoms are still here. My fear is that I have some typd of bad tooth infection that is causing all this. In a way I hope it is from the tooth because at least then I don't have to worry why is really wrong with me and why haven't I got better. Then when the teeth come out in two weeks everything will go away. I did go to he dentist on January 31 and they took X-rays. Would a super bad infection show up on the X-ray? I know it might sound silly but I am terrified of dying of an infection from these teeth. Is it okay to wait two weeks for them to be taken out or should I be concerned? Thanks
