Generally the recommended treatment for anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) is epinepherine (also available in a ready-to-use syringe known as an Epi-pen) as the first step in treatment. If you carry and use an Epi-pen, the use should be followed up by a visit to the emergency room immediately for further treatment.

Discuss why it would be fruitless to prescribe penicillin for a viral infection?
Penicillin's mode of action is dependent on the beta-lactam ring. This ring is analogous to the D-ala-D-ala peptide chain on glycan strands in peptidoglycan, the component that makes up the bacterial cell wall. Penicillin inhibits cell wall synthesis; therefore, it has no effect on a viral infection due to the structure of a virus. It is sometimes useful to prescribe antibiotics to prevent secondary infection by bacteria in the event that a viral infection damages the immune system.

In chemist shops you can buy Toothache drops or Oil of Cloves - to be taken alone or in conjunction with a strong painkiller, like Nurofen Plus.
You could see a GP for prescription meds for pain such as Panadeine or Panadeine Forte - the active ingrediant being the codeine that's specifically good for toothache.
At one time I had to have most of my teeth removed, one by one, after sudden attacks of throbbing pain & unexplained decay The meds they gave me while I waited at my workplace to be seen at the clinic were very strong & branded Codeine & Codeine Forte. However, it may only be a drug that dentists prescribe from their surgery/rooms as I haven't ever seen it on sale or behind the counter.
The bottom line is any infection is potentially life-threatening & the few lymph glands trying to drain toxins away from the brain make this situation very risky if untreated. While they may not want to treat the actual problem, they are charged with a duty of care to treat your pain!
Therefore, if worst comes to worst visit A & E, I'm pretty sure that they have on-call consultation available for severe & life-threatening conditions relating to dentistry.
I don't envy you & I wish you a speedy resolution.
What are the effects of common drugs such as penicillin the myceins etc on kidney function?

How did the penicillin change the world?
In 1940 penicillin was finally produced and by this time World War II has started. Wounded soldiers were in need for penicillin, as records show penicillin has been used on D-Day to cure soldiers from gangrene. Medical companies started sending out a 100 billion units of penicillin per month by 1944. After this drug's miraculous effects on these soldiers, more and more of this drug was demanded from the medical companies in the United States. Researchers believe that penicillin was one of the indirect causes of the victory of the allies during the war. Today some of us don't realize the importance of penicillin and that it prevents many children from getting diseases such as infections of the bone, stomach, or throat. Back then children died regularly from what is today considered minor diseases and infections. Indeed penicillin is a miracle drug.
In conclusion the discovery of penicillin had its impacts on history and today. For sure we owe a big thank you to scientists Alexander Fleming, Ernst Chain, and Norman Heatley. The three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and were worthy of fame from all around the world. Fleming and all the other scientists that worked on the miracle drug did not anticipate that someday this drug would save more lives then any other drug created. It is not an overstatement to say that many people and generations wouldn't be here today if it weren't for this miracle antibiotic, penicillin.
Why would your body build up an immune to penicillin?
The body does not build up immunity to penicillin. The bacteria that penicillin is designed to kill does. When you have a bacterial infection a doctor may prescribe penicillin to kill the bacteria off. As you take the penicillin more and more bacteria are killed within your system and you start to feel better. As you start to feel better you become less aware of the symptoms of the infection and are inclined to forget to keep taking the remainder if your penicillin (after all I feel fine you say) the problem however is that some of the bacteria are not killed of if the coarse of medicine is not finished. These bacteria are likely to form a resistance to penicillin as a result of their exposure making the illness harder to treat next time. Some illnesses that were once easily treated with penicillin are now very difficult or impossible to treat. Many as the direct result of over use or improper use of penicillin.
I guess when you have an emergency for a toothache and your dentist prescribes you an antibiotic, if you run out then you would have to go back to your dentist. The reason for that is, you have too be prescribed the same medication and not mix them. I suggest that you get a refill. The point is, you should not mix the medication.
