Tooth Abscess
Hey hey, I have an tooth or dental abscess and my surgery is Wednesday. I have a swollen neck, not badly swollen but it can be seen and im not sure if it's a Lymph node or not, when I asked my doctor she just dismissed it. I am lightheaded and I have the sensation I can't breathe but I don't know if it's something serious or if it's my anxiety since im really panicked. Sometimes im able to breathe and sometimes im not. But my dizziness won't go away. I'm scared because there are still 3 more days and what if I die in that time? Can someone please tell me if it's something serious or just my panic and mental health? I don't have any pain and my body temperature is good. My cheek isnt really swollen it's just my neck.
