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
