Hiya,

I was at the dentist on Tuesday and had an extraction of a molar. Anyway bleeding never stopped and i had to go back and get my mouth stitched and packed.
Dentist gave me Amoxicillin antibiotics (which ive had before) and as usual i had a panic about taking them.... Took my first last night and another at 7.20am. My particular fear is dying. Now im worried, my mouth feels swollen (both sides) and im panicking!!!

[fed up with it]

Hi firstly i want to say well done for getting the tooth out ,i have still got to face that one! I know exactly what you mean i have panicked terrible about taking antibotics, and have since had a bad reaction to one (hives) but i had to stop taking them, so the reaction is not going to kill you! I once felt so scared about taking a new anitobic that i sat outside the a & e department and still never took it thankfully the problem calmed down and i never had to take them! So how far fetched is sitting outside the hospital? You will be fine. :)

Thanks for that! Going to the dentist for a check up was an achievment I can tell u. Going back for fillings - also an achievment! Then the extraction and stitches etc afterwards - all very good for me (if i went regularly then i would be getting extractions)Taking the abitbiotics is an achievment too - I forced myself to take them
Just spoke to someone at my work who told me that I dont look swollen. Im just scared! Ive had them before.... I understand about your new ones totally! even about sitting outside the hospital!

Well done,
keep taking them and trust that they are safe : ) Youre right if you start avoiding them even just by missing one it will gradually worsen till you cant do it at all!
