Can Penicillin Be Used For Toothache

I went to a urgent care to get a prescription for penicillin for a tooth infection my left side of my face has swelled up so I went in he prescribed me amox-clav 875 until I can see my dentist but by my tooth being infected the dentist can’t pull it until the swelling goes down, but it’s been 3 days & the swelling is still here but the pain has went down some, last time this happened the doctor gave me amoxicillin and my swelling went down the next day, do I need a different penicillin pill I need help ## It's usually the active infection that prevents them from pulling it, not the swelling, since when the infection is active and in its prime, they can't numb it properly to pull it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including n...

I have an abscessed tooth and got an antibiotic from a feed store called Fish Pen (penicillin) 250MG. The vet said it would be fine to take it. It's an oval pill with the number 520 on it. How often, how many and how long should I take it for? ## Hello, Cynthia! How are you? I'm sorry about the toothache. No, since it hasn't been specifically manufactured for human use, it may not be safe for you to take. The dosage can also vary, depending on the severity of the infection and your response to antibiotics, it can range from 500mgs twice daily up to 500mgs 4 times a day, sometimes even more. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Additionally, whatever caused the abscess will need to be taken care by your dentist, because while an ant...

Is sulfur in penicillin s21 pills? I'm allergic to sulfur and have a bad toothache. Will penicillin help me out or make me sick?

The inactive ingredients can vary, so while there is no direct sulfur in them, there might be derivatives.

I would like to know how many a day can I take?My toothache is very bad. I have swollen gums and my tooth is chipped. The pill I have is the Mexican one. And for how long do I take them? Or should I just go and get my tooth out? What do u recommend? ## Hello, Cielo! How are you? This is an antibiotic, so while it may help with an infection, if one is present, it will not help with the underlying issue that's caused the infection, such as the chipped tooth, so yes, you do need to see a dentist for a proper treatment. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. What is the dosage as listed on the packaging? What you've stated in the subject line isn't very clear. ## Hello... Can I buy penicillin over the counter or does i...

I have a really bad toothache that I think is abscessed. Will Bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) help treat the infection? ## Can Bactrim be used for a Tooth Infection? While Bactrim is effective against a range of bacterial infections, it is not typically the first-line antibiotic for treating tooth infections, which are often caused by anaerobic bacteria found in the oral cavity. These infections usually respond better to antibiotics that are specifically effective against the types of bacteria found in dental abscesses, such as penicillin, amoxicillin, or clindamycin, which are more traditionally prescribed by dentists. However, in cases where a patient cannot tolerate these first-line antibiotics or if the infection is caused by a bacteria that is known to be susceptible to...

Can u drink liquor after taking the pill and is it good for a toothache ## This contains 500mgs of the antibiotic Penicillin, it is used to treat various types of infections. Therefore, it won't relieve the pain of a toothache, except by association. IE: If the toothache is caused by an infection, then if it works to battle the infection, the pain will start to ease in 4 to 5 days of using it. As to drinking while using it, this is not advisable, because it can enhance the side effects, such as nausea, dizziness and diarrhea.

possible pain med from mexico for toothaches? ## i need english translation of metamizol sodico and what it contains does it contain aspirin or naproxen or penicillin? ## It's quite silly to tell someone that it's very difficult to get information on foreign drugs. The information is quite readily available. You just need to know the language, and in some cases, English will work just as well on line. To the person asking the question about metamizol sodico, I found with just a quick search, a warning for anyone allergic to aspirin. ## I'm sorry, I forgot to add what the ingredient is. It's Dipirona, an antiinflammatory medication used in Europe and Latin America, but which has been removed from the market in the U.S. due to its tendency to lower blood pressure levels. #...
