Thank the powers that be, I'm finally able to get to a dentist tomorrow. I think I have an infected/abscessed tooth. Hopefully they will give me some antibiotics right away and be able to start work ASAP.
My question is: Is there a chance that I can get liquid antibiotics? I wanted to know ahead of time to set me at ease. I've always had a hard time swallowing pills, but these last couple months I've had problems with even small "easy swallow" pills.
Also, I've seen liquid painkiller on the shelves for adults... is there a prescription-grade liquid pain killer?
(yeah, I'm a wuss, go ahead and say it).
And - who writes the prescription, anyway? I'm guessing its the dentist herself.
I'm 26, last time I went to the dentist, I was 17 and my parents always took care of crap like this.
Thanks ahead of time!

Your dentist should be able to prescribe a liquid antibiotic without a problem. Just ask him/her for liquid.

Yes, there are liquid anitbiotics and a few liquid painkillers. The dentist can only prescribe medication. Some antibiotics and pain meds can be crushed or cut in half and taken with water.

Yes, there are liquid antibiotic. My doctor prescribed it to my when I had my tonsils removed. I'm assuming the dentist can prescribe it? Or send you to a doctor who could? Good Luck and go to the dentist twice a year :)

You will only get things to treat your symptoms. Some may prescribe antibiotics even though they will not do much good. Tylenol and Motrin alternated every four hours and Theraflu every six hours will get you through it without the hassle and cost of a dr visit. Lots of fluids of course and eat as much and as often as possible. It will have to run its course and your only choice is to treat the symptoms of it. Just got over the flu two weeks ago with a trip (unneeded) to the dr.

JUST ASK FOR LIQUID PRESCRIPTIONS. THEY ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE DRUG STORE IN MANY FLAVORS.
