BACKGROUND: I have been having some crappy dental pain issues over the last 8 months. What started out as removing a single wisdom tooth, has turned into removing the second molar (beside original wisdom tooth).
During all of this, I was prescribed 1 ten day treatment of antibiotics. Two weeks later, the pain came back, another doctor put me on a higher course for 10-14 days, then three days later the pain came back, so I was put on other course of antibiotics. The antibiotics treatments took place over approximately 1-1.5 months. The dentist didn’t want to remove the second molar until the infection was taken care of (which makes logical sense).
The two ‘bad’ teeth have been removed and I have been pain free for around 3 months. However, yesterday it all came back. Same localized pain and discomfort. No noticeable body temperature increase in the last couple of days.
INQUIRY: I know antibiotics are not ideal or even safe to be on for long periods or frequency (studies show around a minimal of 3 year break needed between treatments is ideal and safe).
So here I am back in the same spot. I am thinking of hitting fasting hard for at least 3 days, and I am wondering if anyone has had success with fasting for an infection? And if so, any tricks or advice? I have ultra high quality liposomal vit C and the best quality Vit D and zinc that I have been taking for months now along with really pricy pro-biotics to help my gut with the antibiotics. Dose anyone think taking these supplements would cause me to break the fast?
You could try Keto OMAD and eat things that kill bacteria in abundance such as raw garlic. Also, oil pulling has helped me in the past. I’m not a doctor or dentist and I’m not prescribing any type of treatment or anything. I’m just telling you things that have helped me in the past.
I let a tooth infection go because it would only hurt intermittently and when I finally went in to have it addressed when it suddenly became unbearable I was told I easily could have died from it. It’s an infection, in your head, the same place your brain lives. The pain when they finally opened up the infection was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Please don’t put it off!
