Tooth Gone Wild! Please Help!?

Ok, I am in horrible pain! I am going to DDS on Thursday but that is 6 days away (she's on vacation so no shortning it)!!!! I have been on Amoxicillin for 5 days now. I'm guessing it isn't working enough? Shouldn't 5 dys be enough! I have some Clyndomicin that I am suppose to start taking if the Amox doesn't work. Should I get relief if I start the Clyndomicin now? I am running out of time! The DDS can't treat me for a root canal if I am still infected correct? So I must be on an effective antibiotic correct? Please help! I'm taking advil too... but still throbbing. Should I start the Clyndomicin or is it possible the Amox is working and this is the best I'll get? If I am not allergic to PEN or AMOX, will it be safe for me to take Clyndomicin?

Your dds should have another dds covering for her. Call back and ask. If not, open the phone book and call another dds.

That sounds like you need to get sorted out fast and that suffering is unnecessary not to mention that all that medication can't be good for you.





Find someone else that can help you and find them fast.

Antibiotics only kill bacterial infections.. you could need an anti inflammatory... and some serious pain relief like codeine...you could also be taking too many different antibiotics at once which may be neutralising each other... try taking one type only for 5 more days in conjunction with pain relief.
