It depends on what type of infection you have. If the antibiotic is called Metronidazole then you shouldn't drink any alcohol.. It will cause you to feel very nauseous and unwell. It belongs to a family of chemicals related to medicines which were used to treat alcoholics. Hic!!
amoxicillin and clavulinic acid
If Im taking strong antibiotics (shots and pills) due to a spider bite. (57 yr old male and currently taking blood pressure meds) Should my blood pressure readings be normal?
no
Depends on how severe the infection is. If very severe they can precribe at 1g every 12h
actually it is due to treating swelling in mouth by antibiotics only.such conditions occur due to dental abscess where antibiotics given without incision and drainage or root canal treatment.
I would assume antibiotics. After you take antibiotics, though, it is important to take some form of a probiotic to put the 'good bacteria' back up where it needs to be since antibiotics wipe out harmful and helpful bacteria.
When you have a root canal generally it is performed during 2 to 3 visits. Do you mean second visit to root canal? If you are being told this is a second root canal on the same tooth, find another dentist and stay on the antibiotics. Minimally get another opinion before making a decision. Get x-rayed, and checked again, you should not have pain or swelling after the root canal. Possible underlying other causes.
yes but with medical treatment by a dentist
First continue taking antibiotics, secondly if the root canal was completed you SHOULD NOT be having any pain at all. If your dentist does not know what else to do, you should search out another dentist that can help you. also if you are in that much pain that you need pain killers, something else could be going on. See another dentist as soon as you can, but stay on the antibiotics to be safe.
I have been given Amoxicillan for two of my abscess tooth problems. but that won't do the whole trick if the infection is spread too much. You will have to have a root canal. Also be careful taking antibiotics for too long, they can kill off good bacteria in your stomach (drink buttermilk) or ask for a supplement of that in the pharmacy (non prescription but it's behind the counter).
Options include extraction and root canal treatment, however antibiotics are sometimes necessary as it is often verry dificult to extract/root treat acutely abscessed teeth. Dr Nicholas Manning BDS Glasg MFDS (RCSEng)
You may have an absessed tooth.... could possibly need a root canal. Best to see your dentist. They will probably give you antibiotics first.
