A member asked:
Taking antibiotics for tooth abscess, but am vomiting and feeling terrible, should i carry on taking the antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tooth abscess: See a Dentist. Antibiotic will not cure an abscess, only limit the spread of infection. Dentist can help you decide which is best antibiotic to take to reduce infection before root canal treatment or extraction. Pills alone will not fix this.
