What Causes Infection In Molar During Pregnancy?

Hello, I suffered from costochondritis (prob mis spelled) for almost two years until one day it was just gone! Two and a half years later I am 19 weeks pregnant and have had a awful infection in my 19th molar for almost a week. I am on my 2nd round of antibiotics and am just today on the upswing, but...out of no where my chest is sore with the same costochondritis symptoms as before. Is there any correlation between the two? Is there any reason to believe that it may be back??? As If I need chronic pain back in my life with another 20 weeks to go of pregnancy. Who would be the best specialist to see about the chest pain?

hello ,thank you for your question at healthcare magic.

There is less chances of corelation between your taking antibiotics and recurrence of costochondritis .But the reason for infection in your tooth need to be diagnosed and treated properly.Because there are many chances that recurrence of costochondritis is due to heavy tooth infection.Because there are microoragnisms present in infection which in turn are affecting intercostal cartilage and causing inflamation of it.Which present to you as symptoms of costochondritis.
So you need to get reason of that infection diagnosed and treated by nearby dentist.And please go as soon as possible.Beacuse if any dental treatment is necessary then that can be performed between 12th to 24th week of pregnancy only as it is the safe period for mother and baby.

For treatment of costochondritis you need to consult Tuberculosis and chest specialist doctor.

You can reconsult for any further queries.wish you and baby happy health.
