Sorry of this is an obvious question, but it has been keeping me up at night.
Since I discovered that I had this huge abscess that has been likely brewing for up to 2 years, according to the endodontist, why did I have no symptoms until recently?
With that, now that I have had an apicoectomy to get rid of lingering infection, how will I know if the infection is gone, or if it returns? I had no symptoms until it got huge. I even had two blood tests done this summer and fall, to check for infection and nothing was abnormal.
My endodontist did not prescribe antibiotics, because I have had so many this year, but she said to call if I have swelling or fever. I never had those the first time, so how will I know?
Sorry, having a bit of a panic attack that the infection isn't gone, and second guessing turning down the antibiotics.
