Suggest Treatment For Tooth Infection
Good Morning! Last Friday my 23 yr old daughter had two wisdom teeth removed. Only one was impacted. The dr. saw her yesterday to remove stitches, and told her she may have a slight infection. She has been in pain since friday, even with pain meds. He has placed her on a oral antibiotic, my question is , should she be using a oral antibiotic rinse as well???

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The antibiotic course can be taken for 5days period and after that you can stop taking antibiotics. But you need to the extracted socket site irrigated every alternative day for a week. Continue to do saline gargling, no need of antibiotic rinse.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
