Hello i have been described amoxcilin for Pericoronitis on wednesday and its now saturday. how long does it take for the amox to work. And also just getting over a cold can this contribute for the amoxcilin be taking so long to work on my Pericoronitis
Hi. It may take amoxicillin for 7-10 days to cure peritonitis. The duration of treatment of peritonitis depends upon the severity of the infection and the clinical response, amoxicillin is usually given for 3 days. However, if there is no clinical response it may be extended for up to 7 to 10 days. Getting cold during the course of treatment does not contribute to long time for amoxicillin to work. Hope I have answered your query.Feedback is appreciated.
