Suggest Remedy For Gum Infection
Hi. My brother is a seaman and he has a bad gum infection. His ship is near the west-african coast right now, and he needs help but can not get on ground to a doctor until the ship will reach South-America - Brasil. He tried Amoxiciline, but he said it doesnt work, and the infection is worst everyday. He needs to know what antibiotic can use to hold the infection until the ship reach Brasil where they heading now. Any advice please ?
