Hello Dear
Thanks for your query, I will be most happy if I could help you out so no need to worry much. I have thoroughly gone through your query. You have not mentioned that all the 6 teeth were extracted on the same day or in multiple visits.
You signs and symptoms can be usually due to few reasons-
- Discontinuation of the antibiotic before the complete eradication of the infection. Allergic antibiotics should have replaced by other antibiotic to cure the infection and inflammation completely.
Allergy along with the infection worsens the condition.
- Bigger the wound greater is the chances of spreading the infection, so it should be covered by proper medication till the complete cure of the infection.
I think lack of complete medication+drug allergy+big wound contributed in worsening the condition. Infection may spread further so it is very much important to get it treated immediately.
• I will advice you not to delay and get an appointment with your
dentist as early as possible so that he/she will change the medicine accordingly.
• Meanwhile I am advising few things that will provide some symptomatic relief and restrict the inflammation.
• Take anti-allergic tablet like
cetirizine tablet 10 mg once daily.
• You can take antiinflammatory tablet Zerodol-SP or
Enzoflam (Diclofenac+Paracetamol+
Serratiopeptidase) thrice a day till you get your appointment with the dentist. I hope you will get appointment as early as possible.
• TAKE MEDICINES ONLY IF NOT ALLERGIC TO IT AND OTHERWISE HEALTHY.
• Use Betadene/Viodine/Betakind (contains
povidone iodine solution) easily available in medical stores, twice daily for 1 week.
• Do not apply any type of pressure or hot packs on the affected side, Instead you can use a
cold pack.
• Try not to sleep from the affected side for few days.
Hope this will help you. If there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are welcome to ask me any time.
Hoping for your fast recovery :-))
Take Care
