Hi everyone,
Having at last persuaded my hubby to see a dentist (after suffering great pain and swollen gum!) He went today but unfortunately, could not get in to see my lovely dentist and had to see someone else, a lady whose English was not the best and in his words "was a little rough" !
It sounds as though he had a gum infection and she basically lanced it, which hurt a lot he said !!
He has been prescribed Metronidazole which the pharmacist has advised no alcohol at all, does this mean he can not even have 1 unit, I've read that the side effects of drinking can be bad, is this the case ?
Also, would 'cutting into' the infection be the correct procedure as now he is home he is in a great deal of pain, is this normal ?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
