Suggest Remedy For Dental Health Problem

Im fairly sure i have Pericoronitis. Im not in severe pain but a good deal. I also feel nauseous, generally run down and get periods of the chills. I am thinking i'll need antibiotics so i was wondering if my family doctor would sort it for me as i cant get a dental appointment until late next week. Thanks

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Pericoronitis usually occurs during the eruption of third molar and it a difficult situation for few.

I would suggest you take a ibuprofen for pain (if you are not allergic to any medicine).Please visit your family doctor(if the dentist is not available ) for the prescription of antibiotics like amoxicillin.

Do salt water gargling.

Avoid applying hot bag to relieve pain.Keep the area clean to avoid infections.
Visit your dentist and get a radiograph done to evaluate the position of the erupting tooth.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.
