I have had an infection around my lower left wisdom tooth for 4 weeks now. I was initially put on Amoxicillin which didn't touch it, then Erythromycin which nearly cleared it (but had me feeling awful) and I've now almost finished a course of Metronidazole (3 more tablets to take) and the gum is still oozing pus. Has anyone else had this before? The infection isn't painful, just unpleasant (taste, smell etc.). I am slightly concerned that I might have an undiagnosed health problem which is why the infection isn't clearing, so was just wondering whether other people have had a similar experience with antibiotics not clearing wisdom tooth infections? Getting worried about going back to the dentists now
