Tooth decay pains repeatedly! An 8-year-old girl in Guangdong has a large abscess in her brain!

Tooth decay in children seems to be common and easily overlooked. An 8-year-old girl from Guangdong suffered from repeated redness, swelling and pus discharge due to tooth decay for more than a year and eventually resulted in a huge abscess in her brain. Fortunately, doctors in Guangzhou helped her draw out a large amount of pus and successfully removed the abscess, which finally turned the corner.
Tooth decay is repeatedly inflamed and swollen, neglected
Liu Xiao (pseudonym)'s parents have been working in Shenzhen and Dongguan for a long time. At the age of 8, she and her grandparents live in Heyuan, Guangdong. More than a year ago, Liu Xiao's tooth decayed. "It's normal for children to have tooth decay, so we didn't pay much attention," Liu said.
For more than a year, the cavities have been repeatedly inexplicably painful and sometimes pus. Liu Xiao occasionally feels that his saliva is stinky, even bitter. However, every time she had swelling and pain, her grandmother would boil some hot herbal tea for her to drink, and the pain would be relieved a little after drinking. Therefore, Liu Xiao's tooth decay has not attracted the attention of the family.
In early September, Liu Xiao suddenly had a fever and headache, and his body temperature was as high as 38.6°C. After the infusion at the local clinic, although the fever subsided, the headache still did not improve. "When I made a video call with us, I said I had a headache." Dad Liu said. What's more serious is that in mid-September, Liu Xiao began to vomit, and he vomited out what he ate in a blink of an eye. The headache became more and more serious, and it did not improve after rest. At the local hospital, Liu Xiao was found to have a huge object on the right side of the top occipital, and its nature was unknown, which frightened Mr. Liu and his wife.
In order to seek further treatment, on September 23, Liu Xiao was taken to a hospital in Guangdong by his parents.
Considering that the capsule of the abscess had matured, my doctor decided to perform a right parieto-occipital brain abscess resection for the child. "After the craniotomy, the tension of the dura mater in the child is very high." My doctor introduced that because the abscess was deep in the brain, in order to decompress, the abscess was punctured under the guidance of navigation, and more than 20 ml of dark yellow pus was extracted. , and finally an abscess with a size of about 4cm*4cm was completely separated and removed along the outer wall.
The oral cavity is a bacterial environment, and the periodontal and face are rich in blood circulation and intracranial communication. When pulpitis or periodontal abscess occurs, bacteria can easily enter the brain through these channels, resulting in brain abscess or subdural empyema.
"Don't delay swollen gums and suppuration. Oral diseases must be treated in a regular dental clinic like Mengyake." The doctor emphasized that once oral diseases are combined with fever, headache, blurred vision, and mental deterioration, you must seek medical attention in time.
