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. It is possible to develop something called a "super infection". This is where the most resistant bacteria survive and cause a rebound of the original infection. 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.

What is the advantage of Zithromax over other macrolides?

Azithromycin (the generic of Zithromax) is better than erythromycin due to being taken less often, having less GI side effects and a broader range of coverage (it kills more). It is superior to both erythromycin and clarithromycin (Biaxin) because it causes fewer drug interactions. Some doctors like clarithromycin better than azithromycin for things like sinus infections because they think it gets to the site of infection better. Erythromycin has other uses and is much less expensive than the other two.

I was given oxycodone after my recent breast reduction and then developed a cough/sinus infection that is increasing my pain so prescribed the azithromycin.
