Hello. I hope that someone here is able to provide insight into the symptoms I've been experiencing relating to my teeth, tongue and throat.

Allow me to start from the beginning.

This is not a dental story but I feel these details may relate.

2 years ago I went to my dentist with pain in my lower left back teeth. After an x-ray I was found to have both wisdom teeth impacted and needed them removed.

Towards the end of the nearly 2 year wait for surgery I could no longer bare the pain and my dentist had to perform a root canal on my lower right and left second molar to stop abscesses forming underneath causing me pain. A couple months after that (still awaiting surgery) I saw my GP and complained about a congested feeling at the back right side of my throat and down my neck. It's very hard to describe but it feels like there is mucus there to come up but it never does. GP gave me a blood test and a mouth swab. Bloods came back fine, mouth swab with slight yeast infection ( due to the amount of anti biotics I'd had from dentist) GP prescribed a different sort of AntiBiotic and anti fungal medication as he thought the issues with my teeth were attributing to the symptoms I am experience. The symptoms went away towards the end of the 7 day course then came back so a trip back to the GP I was prescribed the same again to get me through to my surgery day. I was also given Nystatin spray to use which did not help at all.

Fast forward and the teeth are out, that was 2 weeks ago and I still have these symptoms. The next step is an ENT and I'm really starting to worry about this and it's affecting my sleep.

I suffer from anxiety disorder and I have wondered and hoped that it is Globus hysterica that I'm experience but I've not read one article where it is one sided. It doesn't feel like a lump stuck in my throat but rather like there is phlegm at the back right of my throat that I can't cough up. Cough sweets seem to help me ignore if but it come and goes when it pleases. It doesn't get better after eating and I've not noticed any patterns with it. Recently there has been a slight pain there when coughing.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

    Find a holistic dentist (research Hal Huggins protocol.) Root canals do not eliminate the infection in teeth, there are miles of tubules which make it impossible to sterilize. The bacteria that live in the anaerobic condition inside sealed teeth are deadly. I was a dental assistant and thought I understood dental treatment. I’ve been sick for MANY years. Finally got images with a Cone Beam CT scanner, they showed huge abscess and cavitation in the bone above a molar that regular X-rays did not show. Three of four wisdom tooth removal sites were infected as well as 2 of 2 root canaled teeth. I couldn’t have died if this had gone on much longer.  Your regular dentist and oral surgeon will not tell you these things. They save teeth at all costs, but lose lives in the process. I’ve taken exceptional care of my teeth as an adult, but I was still affected by dental infections. I had to lose three teeth and have three sites cleaned out, but I hope I will save my life in the process. Don’t hesitate, get help.

    One more thing, I too have the fullness in the tonsillar lymph node below my ear on the side of one of my recent extractions. At times there seems to be mucus drainage from sinus on that side. The infection in this jaw had been there many years.  I’m trying to be patient and realize this will not resolve overnight, boosting immune system and using holistic measures now and after I’m done with antibiotics. I hope you find answers.

    Hi,

    I think it's your lingual tonsil that's swollen. Do you have your palatine tonsils? Because when you don't have palatine tonsils, lingual tonsils  take the role on themselves and when there's some infection they swell. 

    I have swollen lingual tonsils for over a year and I wake up a lot at night because they affect breathing.
