All of my wisdom teeth came in straight when I was about 21 except for one. It would come in and go back down and then repeat. They never gave me any pain and there was room for them. Well the one tooth that would appear and go back has came back in again. I noticed it is badly decayed I guess from being under the gum. Since it has come in, I have been fighting brain fog, slight dizziness , and slight nausea. I've made an appointment with my dentist. But was curious if these symptoms could be from this decaying tooth.

My father aged 78 years is stroke patient for last 5 years. Presently he is on catheter(Urology). Presently i feel because of this catheter he has contracted infection. I am giving him CIPLOX-500 MG for past one day. I hope the infection subsides.If any other medicine(available in India) or care i can take so that he does not get infection.

Indwelling catheter is a risk factor for UTI. But better to get urine culture and sensitivity before starting on antibiotics. As you had already started on antibiotics continue it for a total duration of 7 days, repeat urine for pus cells & if it is decreased then it is fine. otherwise need to check cultures 48 hours after stopping antibiotics ...
