Suggest Medication For Pain In The Teeth And Jaw

Had 2 lower wisdom teeth extracted 2 weeks ago they were taken out infected face swelled up twice its size for about 5 data, then 2 days after surgery they gave me antibiotics since then been on 3 sets if antibiotics which have not killed infection they have now given me more antibiotics. I have dry socket on one of them. Should I take them another set of antibiotics? Because the others are not working. I have pain in my neck all my teeth are hurting lump in my jaw on the left which is infection. What should I do? Every time I go and see a dentist/doctor they just give me more antibiotics.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

Please stop all antibiotics for now since you have already completed three courses, as you have mentioned here.

Now, if your dentist says that you have developed dry socket,then please do not worry.Just take pain killers as and when required every six hourly.

Regarding the treatment modality of dry socket,there will be dressing placed regularly after thorough cleaning.so please speak to your dentist regarding that.

An antiseptic dressing will be placed in the socket and will be changed as per required.
Please do take good and nutritious diet and do not worry.It will heal within two weeks.

Thanks.
Take care.
