I have colitis and can't take antibiotics. symptoms after extraction: infection now in: gums, cheek, tongue, heart, heart pain. constant loud ringing in ear, ear pain, mouth pain, loss of control of tongue and jaw. when I relax, my jaw drops open.

my tongue won't stay down, it constantly moves, and presses hard on the roof of my mouth, and against the top right teeth, and even way back up top where the extraction was. there is infection in the hole, and a piece of the gums after that that is like a lump hanging down, and hurts.

I can't have needles because of lymphoma, and the surgeon used multiple needles to numb the nerves. and he scraped the area after extraction, and injured nerves, and the roots of the next 2 teeth.

I now have vivid nightmares, and also its hard to sleep with the pain. I also don't travel, because I am very weak from chronic lyme and health issues, so I only traveled once in 2020, and it was to oral surgeon, in December, because I thought I chipped my tooth, but couldn't see it, and it didn't hurt, but he said he had to pull it. now it hurts, and I have to treat it at home.

Please help, infection seems worse, and loss of tongue control, and jaw control seems worse, the nightmares are worse, and the numbness feeling in lips, chin, and cheek seem worse. I can't leave the house, so I really need a way to heal the infections, and nerve damage at home.

I tried Chlorhexidene mouth rinse that the doctor prescribed, but it turned my teeth black, so I need something to rinse with the kills deep infections but doesn't turn the teeth black.
