Seen emergency dentist to sort out an infection in empty socket, pain returned 24hrs later.
I have a low pain tolerance so keep that in mind, I might just be experiencing pains that I should be.
I had most of my back teeth out, and the left side became very swollen and pressured with pain. I went to an emergency dentist on Sunday who identified it as an infection. I have had some kind of medicated paste packed into the infected areas after the sockets were washed, and the pain was almost instantly gone. I am on a course of amoxicillin but the pain has begun to return 24hrs later despite my 4hr paracetamol-ibuprofen pain relief system. I just recently had a dose but 2 hrs on the pain is still there along with a throbbing sensation occurring when I stand. Should I be going back to a dentist for another clean and repack or is the amoxicillin just doing its thing? TIA.
