Can sinus surgery cause brain abscess? Health Consultation Description: I have recently had sinus surgery and had a bad staph infection along with a fungal problem in the sinus itself. After surgery I was diagnosed with achromobacter infection in the sinus. The doctor treating me said that Sulfa would take care of this infection but as I am allergic to Sulfa I am to have IV infusion therapy. What is this type of infection and is it serious? I was also told that if I did not take care of it ASAP that I might get a brain abscess. Is this true?

Can a brain abscess be prevented? Health Consultation Description: I have severe hypochondria (health anxiety) and I am so so scared of getting a brain infection/brain abscess. I have heard one of the ways of this happening is by an infection in the ear. Now about a month ago I had Otitis Externa (outer ear infection) which was really painful and took about 2 weeks to completely clear up. I have really itchy ears at the moment because I have eczema inside so I am hoping thats all it is. I am scared that maybe there is a bit of infection left in the ear that didn't completely clear up and that it will go to my brain. I know this sounds silly but im so so scared. I feel pressure in my head sometimes and feel like something bad is happening :( is there a high chance there is??

How to reduce the risk of developing a brain abscess Health Consultation Description: Hi. I am 20 years old. I had a root canal job done a couple of years ago, but it was unfinished due to lack of money. I have been reading online that it can lead to brain abscess and things of that nature. I have been feeling some symptoms lately. Such as tingling around my jaw, and a bit of a tinglnig-fuzzy feeling around the back of my head. I don't have any pain or anything like that. I wanted to know if these symptoms were brain abscess symptoms. I am a bit of a hypacondriact and I always think the worst is happening when it's usually very normal issues. IE if i have slight chest pain, I will think I have heart issues. That sort of thing. I think maybe my anxiety is getting the better of me.
