Hi Dr, a friend of mine has an abscess in her tooth. She has had a high fever, reaching as high as 103.3. Shes been tired all day long, coughing alot, vomiting, dry heaving and now she thinks she may be hallucinating a bit. She has not seen a dentist or dr. I plan on bringing her to ER later tonight. My question is, can the abscess get bad enough to cause hallucinations? My email is:  YYYY@YYYY
Thanks for your query, the abscess can be because of the tooth or gum infection. It's nothing to do with hallucinations. Consult your oral physician for the abscess treatment get an IOP AR done and plan the treatment. Consult general physician for the hallucinations. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
