Is It Safe To Take Ceftin 250mg For Tooth Infection?
I have been on Ceftin 250mg bid x 10 days for an infected tooth- i had a root canal yesterday and now i am running a low grade fever 100.0 after taking ibuprofen 600mg po. My dentist told me that I had a lot of infection in my tooth and a lot of drainage. I am still having a lot of pain in my tooth but my dentist told me that this can happen after RCT. Should I be worried about my fever?

Hi
thanks for your query with health care magic, I think you might be having severe periapical tooth infection which made your dentist to leave the canals open for drainage of abscess or pus any how you are already on antibiotic and analgesic so nothing to worry once bio mechanical preparation is done with complete removal of infection along with the pulp tissue it will become normal. Nothing to worry about it. Hope this helps you . You are on safe treatment
