What Causes Severe Pain After Having Injection For Tooth Infection?
Hello doctor,
Today I went to the dental emergency for control for the fifth time. I have had infection on my tooth for a week. I had had siz dosage of penicilin until today. But unfortunately today, when I had the same injection I felt very bad. I couldnt talk I could not breath properly, and I thought that I was going to die.
Then they took me emergency and and I stayed there nearly two hours.
I m still not very fine, I sometimes feel as if I m going to faint.
The thing is I m an erasmus student in Czech Republic right now. So, I m scared to go to dental surgery again for tomorrow.
Now what would you recommend me?
I will appreciate if you reply.
Thanks from now.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Please do not get worried it could be a hypersensitivity reaction due to penicillin injection.It can take place any type due to resistant strains of bacterias developed ,mutation or new strains of bacteria.
Please speak to your treating doctor for change of antibiotics and culture sensitivity test.
The symptoms developed would go away in due course of time.
Meanwhile take rest and good care of yourself.
Thanks.
Take care.

Kindly state the present dental infection you are suffering from, why hasn't any treatment been suggested apart from the injections you have been given. You also have to mention the dosage being prescribed. Higher the dosage of antibiotics will make you feel weaker and do replenish yourself with plenty of liquids.
