<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi. Im Stephen from Kuwait. i just started taking Neoclav 625mg tablets about a 3rd time since yesterday to treat mg swelling gum and painful lower molar. Today i just came from the Ministry of Health, after the check up from the dentist. They prescribe me 3 different tablets one including Ospamox Sandoz 500mg. Suprazole 200mg and Iprofen 400mg. Ospamox was prescribe to me the same as Neoclav, 1tablet every 8hrs 5days duration and the other 2 medicines Suprazole and Iprofen 1 tablet 3xday for 5days. my question is do i have to continue taking Neoclav instead of Ospamox? Thank you  <response>: Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Tooth pain along with swelling indicates infection of tooth that had spread to the surrounding periapical tissues. I would like to tell you that antibiotics and analgesics will provide you temporary relief, I would suggest you to get an x-ray done and start with root canal treatment of the tooth. Unless the tooth is devitalized, disinfected and sealed to the apex you will face pain, and swelling. Maintain a good oral hygiene, use lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Hope this helps out. Regards.
