Hello, I am a 23 year old in need of some advice. For 6 months, the glands along my left jaw-line have been enlarged. My doctor said is was probably nothing. Then, about 3 weeks ago, my stomach started hurting (not severe, more of a discomfort & a little nausea) but it's been like that almost day. I have also been light-headed and I feel like I have little energy.

Last week, I woke up and one side of my face/jaw was slightly swollen. So, I went to my dentist who said my wisdom teeth are infected, and that's what's been causing these problems. But, I have no dental pain at all.

I scheduled myself to have them taken out next week. In the meantime, he put me on amoxicillin, and after 6 days, I still don't feel any better. But, my two questions are:

1. Can I have a tooth infection, if I don't have any pain in my mouth?
2. Can infected wisdom teeth cause someone to be light-headed, have daily upset stomach/nausea and be low on energy?

I am kind of nervous because I feel like something is seriously wrong, besides my wisdom teeth. Thank you sooooooo much for any advice!!!

Hi, yeah, you're right. Thanks so much Compadre.
