In case of untimely treatment or its absence, complications and purulent diseases are developing. The body temperature increases sharply, the patient's condition deteriorates to extremely severe and a breakthrough of purulent education into the mouth or epithelium is possible. Treatment of such an abscess is seriously treated and entails unpleasant consequences.
How to diagnose the disease?
