Pain due to infected tooth, taking Amoxicillin. Any way to reduce infection?
Patient: Hi, I have an infected lower left molar (2nd last tooth ). I was initially prescribed amoxicillin , but the pain continued to increase. On wednesday I was then prescribed metronidazole , and I am taking both at the same time. The pain re, Mains quite acute. I am seeing dentist this coming Wednesday for either extraction or a root canal . Is there any way to reduce the infection in addition to using the medication. Doctor: Hello Welcome to HCM I would like to tell you that you need to get your tooth treated as soon as possible because it might be a case of periapical abscess.Meanwhile you start with Tab Zerodol-SP thrice a day along with Tab Amclaid twice a day & multivitamin complex along with it. The best way to get rid of this pain is to get its treatment like Root canal or extraction done as soon as possible.  Take Care Regards Dr.Neha
