Suggest Medication For A Abscess In The Tooth
I have an abscessed tooth I went to the dr and did a round of penicillin. If helped but didn't totally get rid of it. I am now on 2000mg of penicillin a day. However, although the original tooth is getting better I have a broken tooth on the other side (a lower molar) that is now abscessed and it has spread under my tounge and I have a knot on my neck that is painful along with a painful earache on that side. I have no breathing problems but I do have moments of blurred vision and extreme tiredness. This is all happening while still taking the large amounts of antibiotics. What should I do?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the given history here I could say that if this is pure formation of abscess then this need to be drained and then antibiotic should be administered, if the abscess is severer then extraction of teeth may required, take care and have a nice day.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
Abscess in the tooth needs to be drained, i would suggest you to consult to an Oral Surgeon and get the checkup done.
Instead of peniciilin i would suggest you to take tab Augmentin TDS and tab diclofenac serratiopeptidase this will surely disolve your pain and infection.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
