Hello

Just need some support. Finish a course of antibiotics tomorrow and while it’s stopped the pain I still have some swelling . I know that dentist don’t like to give antibiotics all the time but I now feel like when I stop it will get worse . The dentist said after the bank holiday on Monday to call and yhey will discuss another course for me and am hoping they do because I do not want it to get as bad as it was again . Has anyone been through anything similar? Am
Booked in for a GA on the 19th of September but my mind is telling me I’m going to get worse and won’t make it
 
The same thing happened to me and as soon as I came off yhe antibiotics the infection started again this happened 3 times and he been given stronger antibiotics now like really strong and if it happens again once off these then they said I have to have an extraction. But I do have a weakned immune system if you’re getting more antibiotics maybe ask for stronger ones from now
 
@Elle82 thanks . I don’t have one and am scheduled in on the 19th of September for a general anaesthetic to have it out . They also want to see me next week on Tuesday so I suppose it’s up to them now . I’m okay now . I find it hard with pain not knowing what’s normal at all and my mental health is bad where some days I can’t get out of bed also have an eating disorder autism so I just think it’s been hard all this . Thanks for the reply
 
I'm thinking of you and wondering how you made out trying to get another course of antibiotics? Did you have your appointment on the 19th with GA like you mentioned? I hope you are doing well all around with your dental health as well as your other health.
Best wishes to you:)
