You ve taken 2 erythromycin for tooth infection face still swollen?
Two erythromycin are not typically sufficient to knock down a dental infection. A course of several days is usually prescribed. Unless you are allergic to penicillin and clyndamycin, erythromycin is not the most effective antibiotic to take for dental infection.This is important: Taking a shorter course of antibiotics than recommended is very dangerous.

Only this time, the antibiotic is no longer effective in fighting the infection. Take a complete regimen of a properly prescribed antibiotic even if you start to feel better before all the antibiotic is gone.
