Answer 1

man..having bad teeth is the pits..I know..It sounds like it might be periodontal disease.( disease of the gums) are they receding? Any who..I have taken Keflex and it is a good drug.Did your doctor not give you something for pain? If he did not call that M.D. and insist on pain meds. There is no reason to suffer. Keflex is a good drug..if I recall it works slowly so it may take a few days. You could also call your pharmacist and ask him..

Answer 2

HELLO,
THE ANTIBIOOTIC KEFLEX (a cephalein)
USUALLY TAKES A FEW DAYS TO BRING DOWN THE INFECTION.
FOR PAIN TAKE IBUPROFEN(ADVIL) 3-4 TABS EVERY 4-6 HOURS. THIS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY MEDICINE WILL ALSO BRING DOWN THE SWELLING AND PAIN.

Call the dentist who pulled your teeth - he's the only one who can answer your questions - good luck.
