How Early Should A Abscessed Tooth Be Treated Because Despite Penicillin Shots, Pain Has Increased And Have Developed Fever?
When should you go to a hospital over an abscessed tooth? I began taking penicillin today for infection as prescribed by a dentist. I have taken 3 doses. Recently, I developed more pain along with a substantial increase in swelling along with a fever which i did not previously have.

Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with HCM.
As you are mentioning that you are having abscess in a particular tooth, then there is no need to wait, you should start with antibiotics as well as root canal.
As the pain will not reduce till root canal start. So better you start with the treatment as soon as possible.
Hope it will help you.
