How many amoxicillin can i take for i swollen gum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dentist: Most gum swelling is caused by inflammation. Antibiotics are not necessary in many cases. Take NSAIDs OTC every 4-6 hours is recommended. Even if the NSAID alleviates your symptoms, you should still see a dentist for evaluation and treatment options.
