Suggest Remedy For Delay In Healing Of Tooth Infection

I have been taking this Penicillin for an obsessed infected mouth tooth root for a week and about to finish it. Not totally feeling relieved by it yet. Meantime I began some swelling in my left foot and leg cafe. Hasn t gone away in the same period of fighting this infection. Can t understand if its all related or what?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tooth infection can be treated by taking a course of antibiotics preferably a combination of amoxicillin and metronidazole. The reason for delay in infection healing can be diabetes or any other immunocompromised status. For the permanent relief, the cause of infection means the infected tooth has to be removed. So consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get it treated. Mean while take the course of antibiotics and get a complete hemogram done. The swelling in the foot and leg is a separate condition not related to tooth infection.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
