hi

welcome to healthcaremagic



your infection would subside with tab metrogyl, the sorethroat could be because of the dental infection

continue with the medications

hi, its a common problem which arises during the eruption of third molar, commonly known as pericoronitis. i think most of the times only meterogyl is not helpful a add-on antibiotic is required like amoxicillin with some anti bacterial mouthwash like betadine mouth rinse. also some analgesic with serratiopeptidase should be given. don't discontinue the medicine , just consult your dentist again and tell about your problem. in the mean time u can start doing warm-saline gargles (warm water+salt)
take care.
