Gum slighty swollen by tooth no pain on azithromycin soonesr dentist can see me is 2 week will i be ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: If you don't have pain then it's probably OK. If the swelling worsens and pain occurs then you will likely need to see a doctor for a different antibiotic. Azithromycin isn't very good for oral infections usually.
