Question 1

had tooth pulled feb 5th got dry socket been treated gum is healing but not completely no pain no pain killers can i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

In moderation: If you are not taking pain meds  and the extraction site is healing you can resume normal alcohol consumption (in moderation).   In a week the extraction site  has completed a significant amount of repair.  There should not be much bleeding or pain.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Be careful drinking alcohol if you are on pain killers.

Question 3

Question 4

epididymitis treated with 500mg 2x daily for 7 days. can i drink alcohol and have sex on day 9? also can i get pfizer covid-19 vaccine on day 8, will the above interfere with recovery? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: If you are the same gentleman whose pain was not getting better with cipro, I would not think that sexual intercourse  would be particularly desirable, but wouldn't affect your infection or your COVID vaccine.  Is there some planned ritual on "day 9"?

Question 5

if i got treated for a chlamedia and i drink alcohol 2 days after so i need to get checked again or does it effect me ?

Accepted Answer

From your question: I presume that you were given the recommended treatment of azithromycin 1 gram by mouth in a single dose. If you drank alcohol 2 days after this, I don't see a problem. No need for recheck unless otherwise instructed to do so. If you were given a 7 day treatment regimen, there might be a little more concern, but alcohol is not absolutely forbidden in this circumstance. You're ok. Drink responsibly
