A member asked:

Have abcess tooth. dentist did root canal and prescribed clindamycin. it's been 2 days, still more swollen and pain. shd i be taking valttex instead?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No valtex: Teeth abcess is due to bacterial infection. Valtrex is an effective treatment for certain viruses which do not cause tooth abcess. Give the clindamycin five days to work.
