Plenty of Dentists: Plenty of dentists in Cape Town. You'll need to see one of them to treat your rotten tooth or periodontal defect. Antibiotics alone will not solve your problem. If you were looking for a prescription on this forum, not possible. You'll need to sign up for a virtual paid consult on that side of HealthTap. In the end, you will still need to see a local dentist.

Hot water: Place a hot compress against area to force out pus and put pressure on it to squeeze out the rest .See a dentist as soon as possible or go to an walk in medical clinic for antibiotics until you can see a dentist.
