I was prescribed 500mg every 8 hrs of Amoxicillin for a root canal.  I am on day 5 of a 10 day dose. My face has been getting very red and hot.  My blood pressure was up to 138/98 and feeling tired.  I need to call the dentist in the AM but I am traveling.  No pain, no sign of any issues other than ones described above.  I know you shouldnt stop a 10 day dose midstream, but what options do i have.  I am a 43 yr old male who just had a full physical a month ago.
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. The rise in blood pressure, and the face getting red-hot cannot be related to antibiotics dosage or reaction as you have been taking this for past few days. Even then if you suspect, it to be because of antibiotics you can discontinue it as you have already taken it for five days. Further I would suggest you to visit your physician as well in addition to dentist. The sudden rise in blood pressure and associated symptoms should be well diagnosed for the underlying cause.Meanwhile, please maintain good oral hygiene, till you visit your dentist. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
