Hello, my mom has been having a bad toothache and went to the dentist they said there was an infection and gave her antibiotics. That was about a week ago. Today she continues to have that toothache and now has started vomiting. What do you suggest I do to help?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint if your mother is having tooth infection then of antibiotics will not give permanent relief and an x Ray has to be done by a dentist so that the further line of treatment can be decided. If her tooth can be saved ROOT CANAL TREATMENT followed by antibiotics and painkillers will help. If tooth cannot be saved Extraction has to be done. Due to continuous intake of antibiotics there might be stomach upset which is common side effect of antibiotics, and it is causing vomiting. Nothing to worry, first stop the intake of antibiotics and take anti-emetics like Risperidone for reducing vomiting. Take Pantoprazole 40 mg once in morning empty stomach. Chat Doctor. . Take more of probiotics like Yogurt. Hope this information helps.
