I have a chronic painful infection. The longest I have had without pain in 7 years is the past 12 months. About 5 weeks ago the pain returned & I have been taking 150mg Roxithromycin, the pain initially subsided after 3-4 days but has now returned. This problem started after removal of my wisdom tooth, after which I had dry socket & jaw infection. I have seen 3 dentists, 3 Dr s & a maxofacial surgeon. But I cannot get rid of this problem. I am about to travel overseas for 6 weeks & not sure what to do next.
Hello, You are having infected tooth. You can take antibiotics like Tampico which is quite effective for dental infections. Also apply metronidazole mouth paste which can be applied over the infected tooth. You can take analgesic/anti-inflammatory combination like acetaminophen/seratiopeptidase for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a dentist and look for any residual infection, and it has to be removed.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
