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
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.
