Specializes in Dentistry

Dental Care: Are you being treated by a dentist for that abscess? If so, give them a call. If not, give them a call. Antibiotics alone will not solve the issue.

Is a small amount of red blood in spit something serious? I'm taking oral antibiotic capsules and sometimes I feel like it gets stuck in my throat. I read that it could just be a feeling because the pill scratched it. Could that be causing it?
