Can Flagyl Be Used For Tooth Infection

I do not take antibiotics because of severe reactions such as swollen eyelids and other issues.and also allergic to Flagyl. and possibly Levaquin.

Your doctor is probably speaking from experience with other patients that have used it and medical findings. If you are concerned about it, talk to your doc again and see if there might be other alternatives that you can use. ## my dentist gives me a prescription of rapiclav, zerodol, and flagyl to use before he could extract my tooth which he says has an infection. i w...
