Re: Severe Tooth Infection
Yes, you need to finish the full course of antibiotics if the infection was bad.
Re: Severe Tooth Infection
I now have a temp of 38.4. 6 days into antibiotics should I be getting a temperature?? I am taking alphaclav duo forte
Augmentin antibiotics for tooth abscess.
Hi all, I am on my 6th day of antibiotics, have been prescribed alphaclav duo forte (augmentin). The pain in my tooth is mostly gone, however the swelling is still there and now tonight I have spiked a temp of 38.4. I read that fever is a possible side effect of this antibiotic but I don’t know if I should be getting a temp six days in when I haven’t had one since the infection started. Has anyone experienced this before with this antibiotic? I don’t feel unwell, no vomiting, no diarreah. Just very hot. And some pressure in my cheekbone, ear area. Please help!

Hot flashes/flushes are a relatively common side-effect. If you're otherwise feeling okay then it probably isn't a concern, but if in doubt call the Healthdirect helpline on 1800 022 222. It's a free service.
