How To Treat Severe Dental Abscess?
I have a severe dental abscess that will not dissipate. I do not have insurance and every time I go to the er they prescribe me either amoxocillin or penicillin (both free to fill) which I think my body is immune to as it does not clear up the infection. I have macrobid 100mg will this work? I cannot afford to fill any prescriptions at cost and nor can I afford to see a dentist. I have been getting body aches and chills for a few days now

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Since you have severe dental abscess which is not responding to antibiotics, you need to get it drained out surgically by a dentist. Bodyache and chills shows that infection is going systemic.
Treatment should be done as soon as possible otherwise there will be severe complications.
You must have to consult a dentist whatever it takes to. No other medical options for severe abscess.
Regards
