Suggest treatment for severe tooth infection
Patient: Hi. I have a tooth that is hurting very badly and I can't get in with my dentist until Monday. Can Cipro be used as a preventative med over the weekend? I feel like I have some infection going on. The Cipro is still good, and was prescribed for something else about 3 months ago, but it's the only antibiotic I have on hand. Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The tooth infection can be secondary to a decayed tooth. Nothing to be panic, you can take ciprofloxacin till you consult your dentist. Later you can get the tooth treated with RCT. You can also take diclofenac for the pain.I hope my answer will help you, take care.
