I am currently experiencing a toothache and have also suffered from bladder infections following a vaginal hysterectomy and bladder sling procedure with pelvic mesh for prolapse, which seems to be causing recurrent infections. Could this medication also be effective for treating my toothache? Additionally, what other conditions can it be used for? ## Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic that's usually used to treat UTIs and E. Coli. [1] And the first relevant factor here is that you shouldn't be trying to self-diagnose and self-treat, just because you have some antibiotic left at home.

That can also be a problem if you take it for something that turn......

Tooth swelling at jaw, pretty sure it's infected. Pain is present! I have full prescription of Clarithromycin 500mg. ## Hello, Donny! How are you? It is a broad spectrum antibiotic that can be used to treat many types of bacterial infections. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. It will not, however, correct whatever underlying has caused the infection, so you should still consult your dentist. Is there anything else I can help with? ## My mouth and gums are infected and it's not painful, but I'm just wondering if Clarithromycin can be used for that to cure the infection?...

No money right now for a dentist and I have a new bottle of doxycyline hyclate in 20 mg form (using for acne) pill says lci on one side and 1336 on the other, small round white. I have a tooth abscess and want to know if I can increase the dosage safely to 100 mg per day to fight the infection? ## @Jason, Based on my research, Doxycycline can be used for a tooth abscess. The usual adult dose for a severe bacterial infection is listed at 100mg orally every 12 hours for 7 to 10 days; (but the 100mg may also be taken once daily as a "maintenance" dose for less severe infections). My only question to you would be do you have enough pills to run a full course of treatment, in order to fully eradicate the infection? The last thing you'd want is drug resistant bacteria, so I do hop......
