Doctor greetings to you,  for the past few days I am having pain in my gums on the right side of my face below the bottom teeth.  When I take lofnac and amcloxin the pain goes away but comes back if I eat anything hard.  I work in Lagos Nigeria and will be travelling to Mumbai in the first week of June and that is where I intend to show it to my dentist.  Meanwhile what should I do.
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Your history suggests that either you have deep dental caries or pocket in the lower jaw. It can also be due to erupting third molar. Please mention your age. As your taking antibiotic and analgesics, your pain and infection subsides but reoccurred, as it requires clinical examination and proper treatment. In my view get yourself examined for the exact cause, with a diagnostic x-ray. Further you can continue with your medication, but please remember only three days is recommended for antibiotics.Meanwhile, keep the area clean by maintaining very good oral hygiene, especially after food, through rinsing is advised. Do warm saline rinses frequently. Hope this helps. For further query please let me know. Thanks. Take care.
