10 Symptoms of Tooth Infection
Symptom #6: Malaise
Malaise is an uneasy feeling where there is discomfort. There may or may not be pain and is often one of the earliest symptoms of a disease or infection. Malaise is a common and non-specific symptom that can be seen in even the slightest ailments such as hunger or stress.
It can also be present in serious conditions such as cancer, stroke, heart attack, and more. Patients often describe it as a feeling where “something does not feel right”. It is believed that malaise occurs due to the release of proinflammatory cytokines and activation of immune response.
