Are antibiotics pain killers?
NO. They are antibiotics. anti = against; and bio = life. Therefore antibiotics kill bacteria etc. (Indirectly, antibiotics may contribute to pain relief if the pain is caused by the types of infection resulting from those germs which antibiotics kill. However, antibiotics should never be taken as a direct painkiller. Rather, one should take them to fight germs when one has become infected; but only after ascertaining that antibiotics are needed and will help. A doctor should be consulted. Taking antibiotics for too long, or when not needed, can have unwanted consequences.)

Can you get pregnant due to being on the pill and drinking antibiotics?
You should not self medicate. If you are taking antibiotics, then the doctor prescribing these to you will also know you are on the pill and will have advised you regarding interactions between medicines. This is why training to be a doctor takes so long and can only be achieved by clever people. Self medication is dangerous and leads to medicines (especially antibiotics) becoming ineffective as organisms evolve to get round them - DON'T DO IT.
How long should I stay in bed with acute tonsillitis- please not this is not after surgery Im just on antibiotics?
You should stay in bed for as long as you feel unwell. Your body will tell you how long you need to rest. Generally I would relax and take it easy for a couple of days to let the antibiotics truly work.
Should you still have pain after dentist packed your dry socket from back bottom tooth?
Do you have pain from having the dentist packing your dry socket a week ago or a month ago? Did you finish taking the antibiotics to clear up the infection? You can call the dentist and ask how long you can expect to have pain, especially if your prescription for antibiotics has run out.
