Hi I have recently been on amoxicillin 250mg for an abscess in the mouth. Ive taken the whole course but still have a lump in my jaw. I bumped it earlier and now I get pain shooting down my neck and my left arm is this to do with my abscess? Thanks charlotte
Hi Charlotte ! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Yes it is possibly the abscess of your jaw which did not respond to the antibiotic. Also, if an abscess was diagnosed, I would suggest you to see a general surgeon/maxillofacial surgeon at the earliest to have a proper assessment and treatment of the lesion. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
