I saw my dentist today because I could feel a lump on my gum. Thorough investigation, said gum issue but nothing to drain. Said area was nice and clean but she cleaned it again and took a photo and an xray. Said continue salt water washes 3/4 times a day and take ibuprofen. She would like me to take Metronidazole but I am wary to do so as I usually get side effects from antibiotics and these are very strong. I had a severe allergic reaction to penicillin last July and cant take doxycycline although can tolerate amoxicillin. What is the general feeling about Metronidazole? Is she thinking infection?
