Gum Ulcers. Prescribed Calvepen. Is It Prescribed Only For Sore Throat?
Question: Is Calvepen only prescribed for sore throats. i was prescribed it for an ulser in my gum
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Clavepen contains amoxycyllin and clavulanic acid and is effective for all gram positive bacterial infections. It can be a sore throat, upper respiratory infection, wound infection or a mouth ulcer. It is the most commonly used antibiotic for prophylactic purposes.
You can take it for your ulcer in the gum in combination with an antibiotic for anaerobic flora like secnidazole or metronidazole. In case there is no active infection present then it can be taken alone for prophylactic purposes.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
