My son is very unwell. He returned from university on Sunday night and was complaining that he gums hurt. Since then they are now red and inflamed, he is very tired all the time, sleeping a lot, lost his appetite , his jaw hurst and his glands are swollen. Can you help please My husband is a dentist and has put him on amoxycillin 250 mg 3/fails for the gum infection but its just gory worse. Thanks Marilyn
Hello there... Please mention your sons age... There are age related changes associated with the gums. If your son is over 14 years of age 250\u00a0mg would not help him.... Another antibiotic such as metronidazole or ornidazole also needs to be prescribed to cleanse up the organisms. Please consult a Periodontist (specialized in gum surgeries) or an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for clinical evaluation and management.
