I had a root canal and am afraid the infection spread to my breast. PS put me on 10 days augumentum antibiotic because I had my BA in May 2018, took all prescribed medication, then had a root canal 3 months post opp yet forgot to take antibiotics after the root canal. What are the symptoms of a breast infection? Does aching and tingling count? It almost feels like nerve regeneration but more intense and aching.
