Can Ciprofloxacin Be Used For Tooth Pain Infection

I was prescribed ciprofloxacin for five days by my dentist and on the forth day I suddenly developed severe lower back pain, and generalized aches and pain which have lasted for past month and only gradually beginning to subside. I only suspected the ciproxin when a friend was taking it for chest infection and developed pain in Achilles tendon and is finding it difficult to walk. ## I was prescribed ciprofloxin hcl 500 mg tabs for a tooth infection. So far I have taken 3 tabs. At this time I have had no side effects. ## Hi, Nancy! How are feeling? It is a known side effect that some antibiotics can cause tendonitis in some people that take them and achilles tendonitis is the most frequent one known to occur. As to the symptoms you experienced, those aren't normal, especially lasting...

I have a painful toothache. The dentist office is closed on Sunday. I have 1 ciprofloxacin 500 mg and cephalexin 500 mg. I don't know if they are okay to take for my toothache. ## Those are both antibiotics, used to treat various types of infections, so they may help, but it will not be enough to completely get rid of the infection and they will not treat pain. It is very important that you see a dentist to get to the root of the problem and, if needed, get enough antibiotics to clear up an infection. Are there any other questions?

Just wanted to know if I can use the G & W 3171 pill for a tooth infection? I have some left over from my doctor and I see a bump growing in my mouth. I'm pretty sure that's the infection forming by my tooth. I'm in a lot of pain and don't have time to go to a dentist. Can I use these in the meantime? Please help. ## Hi Kera, The pill you're describing is reportedly identified as Clindamycin hydrochloride 150 mg, made by G & W Labs with a National Drug Code of 00713-3171. From what I understand, Clindamycin is a potent broad-spectrum antibiotic that I believe if taken correctly could prove useful for a tooth infection. In past experiences I recall receiving Clindamycin, Amoxicillin, Penicillin & even Ciprofloxacin (at different times of my life for tooth ...

I am a heart patient, I woke up this morning with a tooth ache. I was wondering if Ciprofloxacin would help with the swelling and pain ## Hello, Stailiana! How are you doing? Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic, so it may help with swelling that is due to an infection, but it will not directly help with the pain. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. In a few days, if the pain is due to an infection and the antibiotic starts to eradicate the bacteria, the pain may start to ease, but that's a long, miserable time to wait. Since you are a heart patient, you definitely need to see your dentist, because a dental infection risks creating an infection in your heart valves. Do you frequently get toothaches?...
