Question:

DOCTORS please. I hav an infection after dentist treatment that won't clear up. I hav had 2lots of Amoxicillin

I suffer with Ulcerative Colitis and recurring Aneamia, so have to be careful what antibiotics I take.
I asked my Doctor what could I do to clear it up and he suggested asking the Dentist for Metronidazole, but when I looked it up on the net it warned against this antibiotic if you have certain conditions, including those I have?!?

Please help and advise me as I'm not sure if either my Doctor or my Dentist are very competant. I am in the UK under the NHS, you can't just go to any practitioner you like.


Answers:

Not a doctor..but wanted to let you know that a pharmacist would know more about the safety of the medication than the dentist or the doctor. They go to school to learn the specifics of the medications and the other do not. The doctor does know the basics but the pharmacist knows more in depth and would be better qualified to help you in your situation in figuring out what antibiotic would be the safest for you in my opinion.
