I have been using Cefadroxil antibiotic 500mg for three days in the morning and evening but it didn't make much difference. Please tell me a good antibiotic.

Dentist in Karachi - Dr. Ali Murtaza

dentist who extracted tooth must have prescribed medicines, keep taking that

swelling after extraction is normal phenomenon in some people

kisi kapray mein baraf lay kar massage karayn face kay us side par jis side par say dant nikla hae it will provide you temporary relief;
yeh massage kisi kapray ko garam kar kay bhi kar saktay hain

keep taking your medicines

if you did that pain and swelling will subside within 1 week

extraction socket ko zuban say disturb nahin karain
straw say drink nahin piyaen, glass mein dhal kar piyaen
aur jis side par extraction surgery hui hai, us ki doosri side say khaen piyaen
medicines continue rakhaeyn

warna dentist ko dikha leyn aur extraction socket mein wash karwa kar alveo-gel lagwa lein

extraction socket ko khud nahin wash kijiyey ga

take augmentin 625mg thrice a day and danzen ds 10mg twice a day for 3 days. meanwhile do warm salt water rinses and keep the extraction socket clean, dont let food get stuck because it will delay healing. dont be afraid to brush the socket as well.

you can take augmentin 625mg 1tablet morning and 1tablet evening for 3 days if you are not allergic to augmentin/amoxil. if you Don't have hypertension or high blood pressure problem you can do luke warm saline gargles 4 to 5 times a day you can use hot packs too for swelling reduction and muscle relaxation.

plus if your tooth has been extracted (completely) inflammation should have been resolved by now it's better to visit dentist for proper checkup before taking any type of medicine.

Most likely it's infection and inflammation that persists. if the source was that tooth already extracted, then it should settle with a simple analgesic . but if continues then the cause should be investigated.

you may have dry socket. kindly visit your dentist they will wash it with saline and put a dressing there.

Dentist in Rawalpindi - Dr. Ayesha Gul

Do saline rinses. Don’t get worried. Let the body heal itself. Let your immune system do the work. Take rest. As u are taking medication. IA it will be alright.
