Tooth ache now for 3 days?!
Question:
Tooth ache now for 3 days?
ive recently been flossing which i havnt done as routinely before, and now have quite a swollen red gum at the top back of my mouth. Its aching quite alot and i can feel the ache on my face, about two months ago i had the same thing and it went after a week. There isnt a lump or anything like a absess, but im worried its the start of one, or have i just damaged my gum?.
I have a full course of antibiotics (amoxicillin) which i could start taking. Should i start taking them now, or wait?. Im 60 miles from my dentist as im working away from home, and cant really afford to go...
Answers:
You could use the antibiotic. I am thinkiing you just iritated your gums. Try ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation. I hope it goes away for ya!
