Hello, Erma! How are you?

Yes, dental infections can spread and, if the underlying issues that caused the infection haven't been fixed, then it might not entirely clear up and/or could recur.

It would be best to see your doctor and your dentist, to be sure of what's going on. You may need a longer course of antibiotics or you may need to take several, at a time, to clear this all up.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
