Can Flucloxacillin Help With Pain Caused After Undergoing Partial Tooth Extraction?

A few months ago I had a partial tooth extracion. It has today become very painful. Obviously my dentist is closed over the weekend. I have some spare flucloxacillin capsules at home. Can I take these to prevent it from getting worse before I am able to call my dentist on Monday.

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that extraction was attempted but due to some reasons it was not complete and now it is very painful.
I would suggest you to take tab amoxiclav TDS for 5 days and declofenac serratiopeptidase combination TDS for 5 days this will definetly subside your pain and swelling.
I would suggest you to visit the Dentist get an IOPA X-ray done of the tooth and get it extracted.
At home take lukewarm saline and antioseptic mouthwash rinses.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Take care!
Dr Ammara.
