If there is a deep abscess in the gluteal region which areas are the infection most likely to spread to Why?
This depends on why the absess is there in the first place, is it a bed sore, caused by another disease etc..... These type of "sores" can cause the spread of infection throughout the body/organs as well as it usually spreads out from the area it is in - especially if the absess is not being cared for properly and medicated.
Can I have my tooth extracted if I have an absess below tooth. One dentist says ok another says the infection would have to clear first or could be dangerous to remove. Any advice please?
I had a friend with a similar problem and his dentist told him he had to wait until the infection was gone because it is very dangerous to operate on an absess tooth. It may be painful now but eventually it will be over and if you risk it and do the operation too soon it could result in worse pain than before. My friends dentist told him removing an absess tooth can actually kill you from infection and whatever else.
