Certainly: Keflex is not usually prescribed for dental infections, so it's not the first choice for antibiotics. You do understand that antibiotics alone will not solve your dental infection... the tooth or gum needs to be physically treated by a dentist. Please make an emergency appointment ASAP and feel better soon.

What to do:: First, call and notify the dentist who prescribed the Keflex of your symptoms. If it was self prescribed or administered you run the risk of even bigger problems. Infections can go downhill very quickly and lead to more serious issues. Yes, you should be concerned and see a dentist asap! If it's after hours consider going to a 24/7 emergency medical facility.
