Painful Tooth After Tooth Extraction. Mouth And The Gums Inside Is Swollen. Had Clindamycin, Cipro. How To Cure The Pain?

I had a tooth extraction on Tuesday. It has gotten more painful and I called the dentist both days and he prescribed clindamycin (150 mg 3 times a day). The pain has only gotten worse since taking clindamycin and this morning (Saturday) I woke up with it throbbing even worse. The inside of my mouth is swollen and the clot (if thats what it is) is swollen, white and looks like a tooth. I had one cipro left over from an infection awhile ago and took that. It made me feel much better but I just brushed my teeth and knocked the white part slightly. An awful tasting liquid has been pouring out of it. It doesnt look right. Can I post pics here?

Hi there ~

I understand your concern. I believe that you had an infection of your root canal and that you are having problems with pain resulting from the same. I am hoping that you will find the right medications from consulting your dentist. However, you probably did the right thing by taking the ciprofloxacin, however you need to see a doctor right away. I wish you all the best in this endeavor.

Take care and have a lovely day!
