Suggest Treatment For Toothache

Hi, I am a 27 yr old female who currently in pain due to an infected tooth n root. I have an infection in one of my premolars and I can't get a root canal at the moment. The only health issues I hve is asthma,seasonal allergies,along with food n allergic to penicillin vicodin n latex. I am currently in dental school and my teacher says I need to treat the infection first so I am wondering if I take Erythrocin as an antibiotic will it help treat the infection until I get a root canal. Also what else can I do for the pain while it heals? How long do I take the antibiotics for? And last what are the possible side effects for going too long with an infected tooth and roots? Please help this woman in pain :-(

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as you have infected tooth and you have toothache I will suggest you to go for Root canal treatment as early as possible that will give you relief in pain , as you are asking to take antibiotic course of medication that will give you temporary relief in pain .
You can take medicine Amoxicillin course of antibiotic with analgesic Paracetamol , you can take vitamin B supplements , do warm saline gargle two - three times a day and go for treatment as early as possible .

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
