[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 554561, member: 1233"] I am so sorry you have had so much pain from this. It is actually not uncommon for dental infections to not show up in bloodwork - there are blood vessels in the gums but not in the teeth themselves. Or that seems logical. I do know that it happens as I have had it several times - the infection from dental that didnt' show up in bloodwork. As a teen I had an excellent dentist and he was never surprised if bloodwork didn't show inflammation but you had a fever. Antibiotics are what is needed and I hope the new procedure and the work the dentist does is helpful. As for the ear pain, it is entirely possible to have an ear infection that an ENT cannot see. EVERY ear infection my children had hurt at least 2-3 days before ANY doctor could see the signs of infection. By the 3rd time this happened, the doctor realized that I knew my kids very well, and that if I said it was an infection then it was an infection even if they didn't see it. In all the years of infections (the boys had a LOT of ear infections, Wiz had them almost monthly for 4 years even with several sets of tubes), at no time did they end up on antibiotics for an ear infection when they didn't have one. By the time the medications worked, the infection was visible even if the doctor gave the medications when I first saw the infection. There is an eardrop called auralgan. Pediatricians and family practice docs are very familiar with this. It is a medication like lidocaine in a drop that can be put in the ear. These work best when the drops are warmed by putting them into a cup of warm water to warm them before you put them in your ear. ALWAYS test against your wrist before putting in your ear. Ask/insist that the doctor or dentist give you an rx for this. It iwll help with the ear pain. It soothes the area and can help soothe the nerve if it is close to the surface of the ear.
