Question 1

Accepted Answer

Too much delay: Get it dome already, being on antibiotics longer than needed is not safe or smart. Call your dentist today.

Question 2

if amoxicillin is working on a tooth does the pain get worse at first?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Regardless of whether it is "working" or not, tooth pain can continue to increase even after oral antibiotics.

Question 3

my tooth is paining me can i take amoxicillin but it expiration date is 4/28/13?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: You are self medicating.. you do not even know if you have an infection. Even if you do, antibiotics alone will not solve your problem... you need to have a dentist take a look at that problematic tooth. Forget about the expired meds and make an appointment for treatment.

Question 4

need a prescription for amoxicillin for tooth

Accepted Answer

Infected tooth: Most common cause of tooth pain is infection, but it's not the only cause.  Antibiotics will contain the infection, not cure it.  This site is for general health-related problems, not for diagnosis and treatment.  Best option, see your Dentist immediately for appropriate care or referral.  If anyone just gives you pills, they are temporarily treating symptoms, not curing the problem.

Question 5

how much amoxicillin should i take for a tooth abcess?

Accepted Answer

See your DDS: A dental abscess is a bacteria infection caused by a variety of different bacteria.  Antibiotic therapy may only be part of the solution.  To determine the dosage for the antibiotic one must know which drug will be most effective for the specific bacteria.  I suggest you see your dentist for a comprehensive examination so that the appropriate treatment be applied.

Question 6

how many amoxicillin 500 mg do i take to get ride of abcess on tooth?

Accepted Answer

Won't work: Antibiotics will not fix the tooth, just mask the symptoms. See a local dentist who can advise you if the tooth is even restorable. If it is hopeless, it is better to have it taken out. Excess use of antibiotics can cause other problems down the road, and that is why you need to have the tooth treated asap.

Question 7

strted takin amoxicillin 4 a tooth i had pulled n my lady area got aggrivated wit lil discharge can it b related?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: If i'm understanding you correctly, you started having some discharge in your lady area after using antibiotics.  This could be a yeast infection.  The antibiotics strip away the normal bacteria in the vagina which allows yeast to overgrow - causing discharge and irritation.  You can try Monistat (available in pharmacy) first.  If no improvement, see your doctor.  Good luck!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

You can: If you are not allergic to penicillin then Amoxicillin is a good choice. However, that it not the definitive treatment. You still have to have the underlying problem treated.

Question 9

how much amoxicillin should i take for abscess tooth?

Accepted Answer

Fast answer: Get yourself to a doctor you shouldn't be self medicating.

Question 10

what is typical dosage of amoxicillin for tooth aches?

Accepted Answer

Don't self medicate: Your dentist, after evaluating your condition, will give you a prescription for the proper antibiotics and dosage. You don't even know if you have an abscess... Antibiotics are not painkillers.
