Last week I told you I had v swollen and sore neck, you advised to see a health professional ,gp dentist. Saw dentist who sent me max fax at LRI lots of antibiotics later for a infected saliva gland that they are going to remove next week as it is so big it's unsafe to leave. Thank you for your advise it gave me courage to seek help.

Do you know what anaesthetics will be used?

Nitrous oxide can cause problems for people with low B12.

A good point from Sleepybunny , and a very important one.

I wrote a fairly long reply about B12 deficency and nitrous oxide just this morning.

It's a must read for anybody who has B12 deficiency and is going to have either a general anaesthetic or entonox (laughing gas).
