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
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.
