hello im rachelle ann seracarpio . my dentist prescribed me to to take 500 mg amoxicillin 3 times a day. i followed her instructions but after 4 days, my glands began to swell in my lower chin....I dont know what to do ....Should i take another medicine to stop the swelling or should i resume taking amoxicillin ...by the way, i have an asthma
Hi thanks for your question. The enlarged glands which you are having under chin most probably could be engaged submental and cervical lymph node. These lymph nodes get enlarged in infection of the oral cavity. The infection you are having in your oral cavity for which amoxicillin was prescribed to you is most probably resistant to amoxicillin. Reconsult your dentist she may change your antibiotic. Antibiotics will not affect asthma. Hope this answers your question.
