Question:
I have had some pain under my cheek bone and think I have a possible abscess. I also have recently been told in an eye exam that there is something sitting on my optic nerve. Could this be part of the abscess or someting more serious in nature? Visitor from CO
Answer:
Your question is too vague to answer due to the fact that you need multiple
tests and examinations to determine what is wrong. You should see an oral
surgeon, ENT specialist, opthalmologist, and a primary care physician.
These doctors should coordinate their findings and see what is happening. The chances of a tooth infection causing optic nerve damage is highly unlikely, but you will have to get some MRIs, X-rays, and CatScans to determine EXACTLY what is wrong with you. This is nothing that you should ignore.
