Hello, my uncle has had an abscessed tooth for about a week. Last night he was acting very crazy. He was combative with EMS and he would go into fits of rage then to crying out loud in pain. What do you think? They finally extracted the tooth today, but he isnt acting any better. He still seems very crazy. Could there possibly be something else going on?
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, I would suggest you to get an x-ray done of the tooth, to see if any tooth piece left in the socket, pain, swelling are common after extraction I would suggest you to take antibiotic and analgesics take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, if there is any leftover tooth particle it can be removed easily. Take care!
