Suggest Treatment For Fever Even After Taking Amoxicillin Following Root Canal Treatment
I had root canal on my tooth 9 days ago. Was feeling pain and dentist redid same root canal last 5days later. Started amoxicillin 3 days later. Still have low grade fever. Started on 1000 mg amoxicillin 2days ago and was told to take 1500 mg a day from here on till completion. What can I expect? When will amoxicillin work?

Hi
with your question as such getting fever with a root canal treatment done is not a usual issue provided all the infection and pulpal remnants were removed. Coming to the drug you are using is good enough as a routine antibiotic.I wouls suggest you to go to your dentist take an radiograph and confirm that all the infected pulpal tissue was removed.
