I need 2 take something now and thought this is better than nothing. PLEASE respond quickly!!! Thank You Brent Bearden 443-378-2975 YYYY@YYYY Feel free to call so I can send pic
Hello i have gone through your query. Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic commomnly used in urinary tract infections.Nitrofurantoin has poor tissue penetration and is not indicated to treat anything other than simple cystitis (urinary tract infections).
if you really cant visit a dentist and i were your treating doctor i would advice you to take cefexime plus clavulanic acid combination if not allergic to it. for pain a painkiller can be taken.
hope this answers your query.
Regards Dr. Shesh
