Question:
I have an abcessed tooth. I went to the dentist and she gave me pencillin. Overnight my face swelled up, so I went back to the dentist. She told me to quit taking meds and gave me new meds clindamycin hcl. Eight hours later I feel that the swelling is getting worse. Iknow it takes time to see results but something does not feel right. ...Lesa
Answer:
Taking antibiotic without definitive treatment (root canal or extraction) is
like trying to put out a chemical fire with water. Call an endodontic
specialist, or oral surgeon, if your dentist is not having success treating
your infection.
Don't wait any longer! This could be serious. Call someone right now in your area.
