Can an infected tooth cause you to be very ill? Body aches, fever and general flu symptoms?

Yeah infection can spread around the body.
I'd go to the dentist/doctor if i were you..

It's possible, depends on how long you've had the abscessed tooth and how bad the infection is. The virus/bacteria could eventually travel to other areas of your body and cause a cold/flu. However, it's more likely that you have the flu as well as an abscessed tooth. Hope that helps. Feel better soon!

absolutely! you need to make an emergency appointment with your dentist. dont be scared. i say emergency appointment cuz u cant wait 2 months for this. he will tell u what to do. most likely he will start u off with medicine DRINK ALL OF IT!!! not all at once but if u dont drink a thrid and say "oh i feel better no need for more meds" then the infection will come back stronger and full force!
