I am so in the wars at the moment.
I am suffering with an infection in the gum around the wisdom tooth, its swollen and very sore. I saw dentist thursday who cleaned it all out but it ot worse and saturday my auntie who works in a dentist got me in as an emergency there where he cleaned it again and prescribed anti bs, 250mg amoxicillin, 3 a day for 5 days. I have so far taken 6 doses and I feel no better at all. I am dreading having to go back and them saying I need a different antibiotic, I know i sound stupid but I once had a nasty allergic reaction to an anti depresant and its now made me very scared to take medicines ive not taken before.
I so hope if I go back today he wants to try a different anti b. Surely the amoxicilin should work? how long should they taken to kick in?
My mum had them for an absess and they took 3-4 days but isn't an absess alot worse than a gum infection?
