Take a PPI along with this medication.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back to HCM.
I appreciate your concern for your tooth infection.
In addition to the prescribed antibiotic you need NSAID pain killer like Ibuprofen along with a PPI to reduce the painful swelling and the acidity causes by these medications.
You are also advised to do frequent mouth wash (rinses) with antiseptic solutions or XXXXXXX warm saline water so that your mouth soreness will improve and you be able to take the medications.
Hope the suggestions given above could be of great help to you in getting the relief.
Wishing you best of your health.

I an on day 5 of amoxicillin and very bloated abd constipated. Legs constantly feel like rubber. Should i continue antibiotic?
Brief Answer:
You may discontinue after 5 days
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back to HCM.
In view of the unwanted side effects you may discontinue at least completing the course of 5 days. I hope the tooth infection is better. If not, you may need a better antibiotic. I advice you to take plenty of oral fluids, fruits, or vegetables to over come the constipation.
Hope this solves your problem.
Wishing a good health.
