BREATHE: Let yourself relax, if you can. Your body fights infection by increasing white blood cells, which prompted your doctor to prescribe the antibiotic to assist. You'll see the dentist tomorrow (today being sunday), and s/he can deal with the tooth. Take in slow, deep breath to the count of 4, hold for 7 counts, and breathe out through mouth to count of 8. Repeat x 4. Can do this to relax. Be well.
