Suggest Remedy For Fever And Tingling In Lips
I have been taking clindamycin since tuesday night. My dentist gave me tylenol 3 with codeine also. I stopped taking that because It wasn't helping and I was getting bad headaches. I went back to the advil with antibiotics. I have a fever still and a lil tingling in my lips. Nervouse that I might be having a reaction. Sorry this is for an absessed tooth

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have symptoms of fever and tingling of lips post intake of antibiotics for abscessed tooth is mainly due to high grade of infection in oral cavity. Presence of abscessed tooth is site for accumulation of bacteeia and there build up which is causing infection and leading to fever.
Tingling of lips occurs due to over use of antibiotics and poor immunity of oral cavity.. Need not to panic about anything. I would suggest you to visit dentist first and get IOPA i.e X-Ray of tooth done to access the level of infection.
Go for root canal treatment along with scaling in that area if it is possible to save tooth. Go for extraction if tooth is not restorable. Take medications prescribed by dentist only and explain your symptoms first.
Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing.
Use antimicrobial mouth wash.
Drink plenty of water.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
