Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Gums And Toothache
I started to have a toothache yesterday afternoon. Today the surrounding gum is swollen with abscess. I will be able to see a dentist only on Wednesday as it is public holidays here till Tuesday and no dentist is open for business. In the meantime, what can I do to prevent the condition from worsening? I am taking Ibuprofen to kill the pain, but the swelling continues to grow. Any antibiotic that could help?
thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the pain and swelling over the gums could be because of the tooth or gum infection. you can take a course of antibiotics like penicillin 500mg tid and metronidazole 400mg bid for three days along with ibuprofen. do saline gargling. consult a oral physician and take radiograph to rule out the tooth infection. i hope my answer will help you take care.
