Had a molar pulled, bone debrided and biopsied. diag. osteomyelitis. 7 days amoxicillan. fluish, back of neck & jaw pain 2 weeks later. gp gave 10 days augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) should i have iv? is it in vertebrae

Probably not : The infection is most like not in your vertebrae however you need to return to gp if you are still having symptoms. Clindamycin may be a drug choice and probably does not need to be administered IV at this time. Check back with your gp soon as these infections can become life threatening.

Monitor: Give the Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) time to work. If things don't seem to be improving, or if they are worsening, get back to your dr asap.

Your own doctors!: This is one of those situations when the best advice we can give you is to tell you to have your own oral surgeon and physician discuss this issue with each other and with you. They are the ones who both know your medical and dental history the best and in the best position to both treat you and answer your questions. We could never properly advise you over the internet with such limited informa.

Serious: Osteomyelitis is serious and needs the attention of an oral surgeon.
