Could My Tooth Infection Be The Cause Of The Extreme Fatigue And Constant Achy Feeling?

Hi there. I have had extreme fatigue and weakness for a few months now. I was sleeping more than necessary and at times, sleeping up to 15-20 hours on weekends in addition to achy joints. I recently went to the Dr. because of a sore tooth. I scheduled a root canal and at that time, I was given an antibiotic, Clindamycin HCL 300mg, taking it every 6 hours for 10 days. I have completed the medication and feel amazingly better. I feel very awake and the extreme fatigue I was feeling has subsided substantially. Could the tooth infection be the cause of the extreme fatigue and constant achy feeling?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

No this could not be the reason.
I would suggest you to get the root canal treatment of the tooth completed.
Also consult to a Physician and get the checkup done.


Take care!
