Last month my dentist gave me combination of cifran ct and dolamide for 3 days morning and evening dose. my tooth ache came down. but after one month my tooth ache came back. since i had the prescription from previous visit, i took the same tables. but this time only morning and evening for only one day and stopped. I did not take if for 3 days this time. will this cause any side effects.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Well, Cifran CT is an antibiotic and you should always take antibiotic in its complete course not for just a day. So, to reduce infection significantly, you should take antibiotics for atleast 3 days.
Also, if you have a tooth infection then antibiotics can give you temporary relief and the symptoms can flare-up again and again.
So, my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get an x-ray of the tooth done. If there is deep infection in tooth then root canal treatment of the tooth can be done followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Honey Arora
