How to treat sublingual space infection?

summary

A good friend of mine felt uncomfortable in her mouth two months ago, so she went to the small clinic to check. Then the doctor told her that she had sublingual space infection. I prescribed some medicine and said to use it first. Then my friend went home and used it for more than a month, but it didn't work. She was very worried about the serious infection and needed to scrape off her tongue. I told her that she would not. She always didn't believe it and was worried every day. Later, I was afraid that she would get sick psychologically, so I accompanied her to a large hospital for examination to make sure it was still sublingual space. After the doctor's explanation, she was no longer worried. Now share with you!

How to treat sublingual space infection?

First, the history of mandibular molars, suppurative periapical periodontitis and pericoronitis of mandibular wisdom teeth may cause sublingual space infection. So we need to find out the cause of the disease before we start to treat it. Like a friend is a bit of pericoronitis, so the doctor first treated the symptoms of pericoronitis, so as to avoid infection.

Second: the abscess in the mouth was treated surgically. The doctor first anesthetized his friend, opened a hole in his jaw, and then separated the abscess with a medical tool, and then let the abscess flow out.

Thirdly, the infection of sublingual space is easy to enter into the submandibular space through submandibular gland. Once the submandibular abscess is formed, the effect of drainage from the floor of the mouth is not ideal, so it should be cut and drained from the submandibular area in time.
