Question:
My boyfriend got a large lump on the left bottom side of his face about 4 months ago. It started smaller and we thought it was a gland. It grew larger and he went to the emergency room. They said it was either an
abcessed tooth or an infection from an animal. There were a few puss pockets. They drained it from the outside of his face.
He went to a doctor that changed the gauze in the wound and he said he was sure it was an abcessed tooth. He did not take any x-rays and did not know much about teeth. He has not had money to pay for those bills and he has not seen anyone since.
I have read the questions on this site, but his lump is more towards the outside of his face. About 3 days ago he noticed another lump there has not been as much pain as last but it is worrying him. He does not have any money and has a hard time getting a job. He starts a new job but I am worried this will prevent him from making any money to go to the dentist. Visitor from IL
Answer:
Your boyfriend needs to go to the dentist ASAP (as soon as possible). The
root of the infection must be determined and eliminated. Next to the Dupage Courthouse there is the Dupage Dental Clinic that helps persons like your boyfriend. I reccommend you go there with him pronto.
