I had a tooth extracted over 2 weeks ago and now I feel alot of pressure....?!
Question: When I lie down there is a tremendous amount of pressure behind my eye and when I stand up afterwards I feel really dizzy. The area is still swollen, especially around the tooth that is by the extraction site. Could the infection have spread to that tooth and area, I still taste the infection from time to time as well. I took a full course of clindamycin after the tooth was extracted so there shoudn't be any infection left. Could the pressure be normal and could the infection just take a while to get completely out of my system?

poor you- i think u need stronger anti biotics and get some codiene based pain relief instead of ibro-teeth can leave massive holes once taken out-the pressure on a plane will probably make the pain worse too-dose up on strong pain relief or gargle with soluble asprin =that will get straight to the pain-good luck and go back to a dentist if not settled in a few days
