Is Fluconazole Safe To Take Post Wisdom Tooth Removal?

I am amoxicillin because I had a wisdom tooth removed. Whenever I take that medication, I get a yeast infection and I have the symptoms of having one now. I have some leftover fluconazole tablets from last year leftover. Can I begin to take the fluconazole at the same time as I am taking the amoxicillin?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of yeast infection after wisdom tooth removal which can happen many a times. Yes you can take these two together. You should take all preventions to avoid dislodge of clot. I would suggest you not to spit and swish or rinse forcefully so that clot will not dislodge. For now maintain proper oral hygiene and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Maintain hygiene of yeast infection site. Follow all post op instructions. If any pain or swelling occurs consult dentist for proper examination and rule out other causes . Doctor may irrigate the socket for 3-4 days regularly and may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
