My tooth abcess popped and now my stomach feels queezy, what should I do?

Question

As of Sunday I had just finished a 7 day supply of 875mg of Augmentin, do I need another antibiotic too?

Answer 1

See a Doctor or a Dentist and get a percription for some antibiotics

Answer 2

Your stomach feeling queazy is psychological...because your abscess popped and you saw it and it most definitely not the most pleasant of sights.
You need to go and get some antibiotics from your dentist, it'll probably be Amoxicillin 250mg or something similar. But make sure they know if you're allergic to anything, such as penicillin.
From then they'll be able to determine the next thing to do, whether it's root canal treatment or in the worst case, extraction..you'll get an answer for the best route for you.
If they say it's possible to do a root treatment but your dentist doesn't feel comfortable doing it [it's a very difficult field is endodontics] ask for a referral to an Endodontist, i don't know which country you're from but if you're from the UK i can find you someone good, he gets the difficult cases and does them perfectly...he even did mine and is doing an apicectomy on me in 8 weeks!

In the meantime, keep the area clean, you don't want it going worse and if you have any discomfort then take painkillers and take it easy.

Good Luck

Answer 3

See a dentist! An abcess contains puss and bacteria. A dentist will prescribe an antibiotic to clear up the infection before he/she can address the problem that caused the abcess.

Answer 4

You might be nauseous from the antibiotic. You didn't mention when you were supposed to return to your DDS. If you aren't in pain, you might wait until your appointment since you have finished your prescription.

Answer 5

Go to your dentist or doctor right away. They may to give you antibotics to stop the infection from spreading.
