Prescribed Amoxicillin, Ponston After Teeth Extraction. Severe Bruising In Gums, Pain Persist. Strongest Painkiller Available?

Hi, I have had three teeth removed on Tuesday, 1 on top 2 on the bottom all at the back on the right side of my mouth, 1 been a wisdom tooth. the dentist prescribed amoxicillin to stop infection and ponston for the pain. I have to take to take 1 of each tablet 3 times a day but I went back yesterday as I was in such pain. the dentist said to carry on taking the tablets I have severe bruising around my gums and inside my cheek. I am going to my doctor today as soon as he opens his surgery because I cannot take this pain much longer it's excruciating. I have four children and I cannot even talk, sleep, eat or even speak properly, My children are looking at the pain I am in and I can see the worried expression on there faces. Please tell me what is the strongest painkiller I can take so I can ask my doctor to prescribe it to me. I am 29 years old and live in Dublin.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

I have read your concern.

The symptoms are usually associated with extraction of wisdom tooth.

Combination of Amoxycillin and Clavulanic Acid ,analgesics with muscle relaxants may be helpful.

I would advice you to take adequate rest.

Maintain oral hygiene well.

Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.

Avoid stressful jobs.

Hope this helps.
