I just posted a little while ago about having pericoronitis due to my infected wisdom teeth. I know it IS an infection, but can this TYPE of infection make you tired? I know I get extremely exhaused with an ear infection or a sinus infection, but a tooth infection can make you feel the same way? I'm so exhaused I can't move and can barely keep my eyes open.

yes any infection can make you tired. it's your body's way of telling you you need to rest to help fight the infection. Did you start your antibiotic? I saw you said you were going to- hope that went okay. And please finish the whole bottle.

No, I didn't start yet, but I'm going to start tomorrow when I fill the prescription. I've even been putting that off http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif I will take the stuff though, I need it http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif I suppose I just needed some comforting words since I feel so bad, thank you so much.

[Edited to remove cuss word. Please use words like "bad" or "horrible" etc. Thanks.]
