Antibiotic: Antibiotic will not cure an infection, just help control it until your Dentist can physically treat the infection. Your other symptoms may be due to the infection, and would be even more acute without the antibiotic, at may be due to a coincidental viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. Call your Dentist for more information and to schedule appropriate treatment.
