Suggest Treatment For Toothache With Swelling In The Feet And Ankle

I'm 33 years old weight 255, have had a tooth ache for a couple of weeks and now my feet and ankles are swelling (mostly my left foot and ankle), I'm 5'6" idk if you need that info or not. Could I have an abscessed tooth causing swelling in my feet? Idk what else it could be. Oh! I got blisters on the heel of both feet from some new hiking shoes, could that cause the swelling? They are both popped and oozing clear stuff.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Considering the symptoms and signs which you have written in your query,the swelling in relation to your feet cannot be due to the tooth pain.

I would advice you to visit a general physician and get your complete check up done to know the cause.It can be due to the infection in the feet .Do not delay for the checkup with the physician.

For the tooth pain you can take a ibuprofen ( if you are not allergic to any medicine) and visit your local dentist and get the treatment done following the X-ray.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
