History of c diff makes me stay away from antibios, but i have an infectn after root canal. would taking flagyl, alone, be safe & enough to cure it?

Tooth infection: An infected tooth needs to be treated by a dentist. An antibiotic alone will not cure an infected tooth, the problem needs to be treated. Flagyl is not typically used for oral,infections. Do not self diagnose or self prescribe antibiotics. See a dentist ASAP.

Not recommended: c diff can recur after treatment with metronidazole (flagyl). See your doctor for consultation before taken any antibiotics.
