Suggest Treatment For Bladder Infection And Pain In The Teeth

I was diagnosed with a slight bladder infection at the same time I was having pain in one of my teeth. My Dr. wrote a prescription for Amoxicillin(qty 30), thinking that the bladder infection might have been caused by the problem tooth which is connected to my bridge(now abscessed)& told me to call & go see my dentist ASAP , which I did that same day. My dentist said that my tooth was infected/abscessed & prescribed Metronidazole(qty. 28) & Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen(qty. 8) for pain, to take along with my Dr. s prescription for Amoxicillin, which I have been doing since late evening of June 5th, 2017. Are these 3 drugs compatible with each other? The inflammation from the abscessed tooth is only about half way down right now & I m scheduled to have my bridge cut & infected tooth pulled, on this next Tues. June 13th(after all my antibiotics have been taken).

Hi.

Yes, you can take these medicines together without any problem so do not worry about taking them. Also, if you take antibiotics before extraction of tooth then the infection reduces; that helps in easing the process of tooth removal and also helps in healing the wound faster.

It is advisable to continue the medicine as advised to you and along with it you can also do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.

Keep the decayed area clean and do not let food accumulate in that area. Drink plenty of water to clear the UTI faster.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
