Question:
My dentist gave me some meds for a toothache last week but now the whole left side of my mouth hurts.What isit
Basically, my one of my molars was in a lot of pain which in turn gave me a bad headache. I went to the dentist that day and they gave me an antibiotic (they said it was an infection) and a pain killer. Also, they told me if the antibiotic didn't work I'd probably have to have a root canal. Now the pain is on the entire left side of my mouth (gums, teeth and even my jaw). Should I make another appointment or wait out the medicine, which I have 3 days left of?
Answers:
Call your Dentist, explain that it got worse as you did here. If it is an infection it may have spread and you may be in danger of sepsis, if it's not an infection then you probably have another problem which needs immediate attention.
