Did Lower Molor Root Canal. Reinfected, So Had Clindomycin. Motion Sickness And Nausea. Related To Procedure Or Another Issue?
I just had root canal done for first time 3 weeks ago. Lower molar. Reinfected before job finished. So back on clindomycin again and in to office to have it cleaned out again. During procedure had ringin in ear for about 5 min. Woke up next day with motion sickness. Nausea and 1 bout of vomiting. Hot and cold. Related to procedure or separate issue. Antibiotic? Etc
Motion sickness, nausea and vomitting can be due to use of antibiotics, you can stop the use of antibiotic for sometime.
As you mentioned Re-infection of the root canal treated tooth has occured, i would suggest you to get clinical examination of the tooth, take an x-ray, depending upon which treatment will be decided.
Meanwhile you maintain a good oral hygiene, use lukewarm saline gargles 3-4 times a day.
Use antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily to prevent infection and promote healing.
your symptoms are not directly related to usage of clindamycin.still if you want you can just speak to your dentist regarding an alternative antibiotic.
please check with your physician regarding your symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
once your canal preparation is completed,antibiotic has very less role then.
According to your history i can suspect some remnant of the infected pulp tissue has left unexplored during the root canal procedure or there is a missed canal due to which the infection has gone worse and you have developed a periodontal abscess due to spread of infection to the underlying tissues.
This type of periodontal abscess drains in the oral cavity and may lead to nausea and vomiting.
once the abscess is drained the infected tooth needs to be explored again for root canal procedure.
you need to get an x ray done the affected area to confirm the presence of infection, approach a dentist for the treatment.
Nausea and motion sickness may be due to-
Side effects of medicines taken.
Pus or abscess draining into the sinus causing such difficulties.
The root canal procedure has to be carried out perfectly with great care.
Get your medicines replaced after consulting with your dentist.
Take plenty of fluids as well as nutritious rich food.
Keep yourself nourished.
Also check whether your wisdom teeth are impacted or is it still erupting.
Hope this helps.
