Could my tooth infection be the cause of the extreme fatigue and constant achy feeling?
Patient: Hi there.  I have had extreme fatigue and weakness for a few months now.  I was sleeping more than necessary and at times, sleeping up to 15-20 hours on weekends in addition to achy joints.   I recently went to the Dr. because of a sore tooth.  I scheduled a root canal and at that time, I was given an antibiotic, Clindamycin HCL 300mg, taking it every 6 hours for 10 days.  I have completed the medication and feel amazingly better.  I feel very awake and the extreme fatigue I was feeling has subsided substantially.  Could the tooth infection be the cause of the extreme fatigue and constant achy feeling? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for asking the query,No this could not be the reason.I would suggest you to get the root canal treatment of the tooth completed.Also consult to a Physician and get the checkup done.Take care!
