Suggest Medication For Tooth Infection

My coworker is having tooth pain and has an tooth infection and I was wondering if he could use this Triple Antibiotic paste with Bacitracin Zinc 400 units, Neomycin Sulfate 5 mpg and Polymyzin B Sulfate 5000 units for a temporary antibiotic until he could see a doctor?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the topical antibiotic Medication that you are asking to give is not appropriate for giving in tooth infection..
In case if she has an infection in tooth and has pain also she can take Oral antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and can apply numbing gel like Lignocaine..
Avoid very hot or cold foods..
Take soft diet..
Once she visit the dentist she can get an x Ray done and in case of deep decay either Root Canal treatment or extraction can help in permanent relief..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
