<human>: i m pretty sure i have pericoronitis, what antibiotics do i need to make this go away, or what are my next steps to recovery
<bot>: Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum, as you are aware that peritonitis is inflammation of soft tissue that covers your erupting tooth, you should perform warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. This will relieve pain as well as resolve inflammation. You should visit your dentist, he might place a medicated pack over the soft tissue, it usually takes a week to completely resolve, but depends on from case to case. Your dentist will prescribe you antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine according to your condition, kindly keep doing rinses and keep that area clean off food debris.I wish you good health.
