Gum Swelling, Painful Lower Molar. Neoclav Taken, Ospamox, Suprazole, Ibuprofen Prescribed. Advise?

Hi. Im Stephen from Kuwait. i just started taking Neoclav 625mg tablets about a 3rd time since yesterday to treat mg swelling gum and painful lower molar. Today i just came from the Ministry of Health, after the check up from the dentist. They prescribe me 3 different tablets one including Ospamox (Sandoz) 500mg. Suprazole 200mg and Iprofen 400mg. Ospamox was prescribe to me the same as Neoclav, 1tablet every 8hrs 5days duration and the other 2 medicines Suprazole and Iprofen 1 tablet 3xday for 5days. my question is do i have to continue taking Neoclav instead of Ospamox? Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Tooth pain along with swelling indicates infection of tooth that had spread to the surrounding periapical tissues.
I would like to tell you that antibiotics and analgesics will provide you temporary relief, i would suggest you to get an x-ray done and start with root canal treatment of the tooth.
Unless the tooth is devitalised, disinfected and sealed to the apex you will face pain , and swelling.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, use lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Hope this helps out.

Regards..
