Hello has anybody suffered from continuous infection in the jaw
I finished my third course of antibiotics two weeks ago and the problem is back again.
It’s very painful into my ear and head on the side ( right)
I was referred by my dentist to an oral maxillofacial consultant who has been trying to help me but my understanding is that there isn’t much that can be done.
I’m hoping that somebody can offer me advise ....I’m now feeling very depressed which is not what any of us need on top of what we already endure.
many thanks in advance

Hi Brenda
I can't help with your question but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. By replying to you it will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list.
You could also post your question in the ask a nurse section of the online community and one of the specialist nurses will reply within 3 working days.
I do hope that you can find something to get rid of this infection and subsequent pain.
