Hello DR, I am taking kaverzide 150, for blood pressure also briccanyl & symbicort preventor for asthama. I have an absuss in my mouth up the top, I went to a Dr today who prescribed me with Amoxcyllin & metrogyl 200, which I have just had my second lot of, I have just realised that it s not where the absuss is that pains it s the bottom tooth where the top tooth hits it. Can you tell me what the metrogyl does, also I have had panadol but isn t working for this pain, is there anything else that I can take to ease the pain that won t affect me with my other medicines that I regularly take. I am in a lot of pain at the moment. Have to wait until next week before I see the dentist. Is oil of cloves any good for the pain. Thank you Andrea
Hello, Read your query, as you have toothache this can be due to infection at periapical and due to periodontal infection leads to formation of abscess, don't be worried so much be relaxed as you are taking medication Amoxicillin with metronidazole continue that medication as you are taking and for pain you can take painkiller like retool DT or Diclofenac sodium by consulting with your local doctor. Meantime you can do Luke warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you. If you have further queried I will be happy to help.
