Infection that wont leave! Help!

[Zozo1986]

Hi all,

I've recently been conquering my dental phobia and having work done on my teeth since finding a lovely dentist.

On July 16th I had a very infected tooth removed, that had been chronically infected for quite some time. Unfortunately, the infection carried on, despite numerous cleanings and checks by the dentist. I finished a course of amoxicillin on Wedneday.

Went back to dentist yesterday as there was still some pus discharging from the socket on and off [admittedly not as badly as it had been, so I think the amoxi has helped.] She told me that it looks better then when she had seen it the previous Friday when perscribed me the antibiotics. She said that where it had been infected a while, it can take some time to heal, and that the discharge is part of the body clearing it out. I was sorta' expecting more antibiotics, and it's made me a bit anxious that she didn't give me any.

Sorry to ramble, just looking for support. My anxiety is off the wall. Also had two roots out last Thursday. Touch wood they seem to be healing well.

Thanks all

Zoe
