Suggest Remedy For Pain Due To Infected Teeth, Swollen And Abscessed Glands

I have two infected teeth at the moment, swollen glands are present as well. They re abscessed, I m sure. So, my question is this: I have full scripts of both 500mg Cefuroxime as well as 500mg Amoxicillin. I can t get to the dentist until this Friday and I need to start a round of something NOW, because, for obvious reasons, the dentist will not pull teeth as infected as mine presently are. I m sure that the Amoxicillin would be the best choice, even though the Cefuroxime is stronger. But, I ve taken and stopped Amoxicillin so many times in the past that I m sure I ve built up a resistance to it. So, which one do I start? I know I need to get to the dentist, but please, which would you recommend?

Dentist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to take tab almox clavulanm BD and tab aceclofenac BD for 3-5 days, instead of the given medications. Antibiotics and analgesics will give a temporary relief unless the tooth is treated with Root canal treamnet you will face pain and infection, i would suggest you to consult a nearby Dentist get an x-ray done and start with the treatment.

Hope you find this as helpful,

Take care!
