Hi, i just had another tooth apsis for the 2nd time, the last time was in september 2010. since last monday i have suffered server pain and was given AMOCLAN BID & GEN PAYNE but it barely helped. only on saturday i noticed after the swelling started that there was a boil of some sort bigger than a wall nut. Does this mean i have to extract my tooth? if it was treated by the meds then why hasnt the swelling gone down yet after the pus came out?
Hello. Your tooth is having infection. Amoxicillne is not effective as you said. Try to take higher grade antibiotics in from of either combination or alone. Consult your dentist for that prescription. For cure of the condition first we have to diagnose the condition by an x-ray. If its decay or anyway affecting tooth then you will have to go for root canal treatment. You can recons ult for further queries.
