Have Toothache. Dentist Gave Antibiotics. On Metronidazole, Dihydrocodeine. Have Temperature. Suggestions? Medicament?
I've had a toothache for over two weeks. Been to the dentist twice and have been prescribed antibiotics. The latest course is for metronidazole. I also got painkillers, dihydrocodeine, for pain relief. At the moment my temperature has gone up and I'm feeling rather poorly. Took my last dose of tablets at midnight. Should I take some paracetamol to bring my temperature down?

Hi,
As antibiotics are continued for long time and problem is still there, there might having abscess in root of tooth.
Consult your dentist again and discuss.
At present to control fever you may take paracetamol.
Ok and take care.
