I'm on an antibiotic for an abscessed tooth,but it won't totally go aw!

my husband had the same thing. a few months ago...i am pretty sure he had to get on another round of antibiotics, maybe a diff type though. just contact ur dr.

Dental antibiotic amoxillan sure makes professional life easier for a dentist performing a root canal... but I also discovered that with amoxillan, if you don't follow-up with the root canal, the pain of the abscess returns after a week or 3.

I checked a few books... and they all pointed to a special homeopathic preparation, merc sol 30. .

100 tiny tabs of merc sol 30 cost about 5 bucks: you place 4 tabs under the tongue: in 15 minutes they dissolve into the sublingual tissues, there's nothing left to swallow.. They're tasteless, nothing seems to happen... but keep up a regime 3 times a day and....well not only did my abscess vanish... the dentist hasn't seen me for the root canal.

You'll have to hunt out a health store or specialist pharmacist who handles naturopathic supplies to get some mercurius sol. 30C: any homeopathic supplier sells it.

That was 5 years ago the pain didn't return: I'd better not type too loud.;-)

It probably won't go away until a root canal is performed. Salt water won't have any effect on an infection deep inside your gums.

It couldn't hurt, but I would not expect it to help a whole lot. Your pain an swelling will not completely go away until the tooth is removed or a root canal is preformed.
