A member asked:
I have an abses in my tooth but can only visit dentist on emergencys. i been using mybulen and dicoflam blackcurrant but not resolving the abses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abscess: An infection that serious IS an emergency. See your Dentist immediately. Mybulen is an analgesic. Might block pain pathways but untreated infection will continue to spread. Dicoflam Blackcurrant is a pain reliever for joints, not for dental infections. Pat. killers will not "resolve the abscess." Again, see Dentist to treat the spreading infection.
