Hi,
Thank you for the query.
Pain in the wisdom tooth indicates the infection and swelling usually indicate formation of pus . I suggest you to take metronidazole along with azithromycin for 5 days and a combination of diclofenac with serratopepidase for 5 days will give you fast relief. Taking medicines will give you relief for time being again there are chances of reoccurence soo better see your dentist and get the teeth removed for a permanent solution. Hope this would help you.

hello,
is your wisdom tooth erupted or impacted?
visit a dentist and get an x-ray of tooth to rule out any infection underlying.
if normal eruption is impossible,the tooth has to be removed.
if proper eruption is possible,flap overlying tooth has to be incised and removed.
take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics prescribed by your dentist.
maintain good oral hygiene.

Hello & welcome
pain of wisdom tooth usually referred to forehead, ear & throat.
permanent cure of wisdom tooth pain is always removal of this tooth only.
in the mean time you can start up with warm saline rinses, betadine rinses, along with an antibiotic course including amoxycilline 500mg TDS, metrogyl 400 mg tds, ibuprofen 400 mg (sos)

Hello
He way you are describing your symptoms and pain it looks that AZITHROMYCIN may prove to be in adequate for the control of infection.
It would be better to start AUGMENTIN 625 mg 8 hourly for 5 to 7 days along with IBUPROFEN 600 mg three times a day.It should be able to control your infection.
If you don't improve,then you might have to consult a dentist,get X -rayed and clear the infected area.
