Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...I had a difficult tooth extraction on Monday, the dentist put me on amoxicillen and I was sick and nauseous and dizzy the day after; could not get out of bed. He changed my prescription to amox-clan; but it still has not helped; I have headache and overall sick feeling.
Hello, Please contact your dentist to update your symptoms. Make sure you have ruled out any allergic reaction or intolerance to Amoxicillin. You may need to change the antibiotic again. You need to control the spread of infection into your blood stream that can give you systemic affects. Follow all instructions provided by your dentist. Try to take a combination of two Advil and two extra strength Tylenol at regular intervals (as long as you are not allergic and can take these anti-inflammatory pain relief medications). Were you given any prescription medication to control pain and inflammation? Your initial healing will be uncomfortable with a more difficult extraction and medication to control the inflammation will offer some relief. Prescription medication for relief may be required. Possible use of a steroid for control of intense inflammation may be recommended by your dentist. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you have some improvement soon and recover quickly. I hope my recommendations are helpful.
