Septic Dread

The toothache was intermittent but there was no swelling on this day, i.e. 20th February. Shall I say that my mom felt better after taking the medicines given by our family physician’s assistant? Yes, indeed, she did feel a little better. But, she also felt a little weaker and after completing the usual household chores like cooking etc., she rested for the rest of the day. Frankly, I didn’t pay much attention towards her illness except for reminding her to take her medicines before and after meals.

Toothaches are generally not taken seriously by people. Although, I knew that they could turn nasty, I was unperturbed after she started taking medicines for it. Sepsis, Septicemia or Septic Shock were strange words never heard before. Now, they are no more strange but dreadful.
