Rotten tooth, inflammation?!
Question: I have a rotten tooth at the upper part, far back of my teeth. ( i don't know what it's called LOL). Just this pas 4 days it swollen up and became painful. I drank ibuprofens and now the pain is gone, but there's still inflammations. I wonder if i could take this Amoxil 500mg for my tooth? any suggestions or opinions? thank you all!
PS: I just need a first hand treatment for the swelling of gums. Then i'll go to the dentist after to get it pulled.

You have an abcess! Which is an extremely bad infection. If you have to wait take the amoxicillin as prescribed until you go to the dentist. That will help with most of the inflammation. Ibuprofen is a good idea as well. Because your gums are involved the infection could have spread to them as well. Look in your mouth for any area that looks like it is the most swollen and if it doesn't hurt to much put pressure against it with your fingers to see if there is any drainage. If so then see if you can get to the dentist any earlier, they may have to open the gums and drain the infection completely before you can heal.
Get yourself to the dentist. He is qualified to see exactly what is going on with your teeth and gums. Don't full around with these things. This can lead to inflamation in your arteries and affect your overall health in the long run.
Amoxil will help if its a bacterial infection, because i had to take that when i had to have a root canal. go to the dentist and find out
