hi , I have had a reoccurring mouth abscess in my upper left back tooth 4 times now , unfortunately still waiting for a sedative appointment to come through ....... I have been taking some old doxycycline 100mg tablets x2 per day for 3 days and my mouth is still swollen, especially the pallet and throat (glands). my GP has refused to see me because its a dental problem and I apparently have to go to  a dentists to get some new antibiotics ! I also have some  Clarithromycin 500mg tablets left here , would it be safe to maybe boost what I am already taking ( doxycycline ) for 3x days with 1x extra off these Clarithromycin 500mg tablets ? , I only have 3 left though  ?  regards
Hi, Thank you for consulting Chat Doctor. The reoccurring access is due to recurrent formation of pus after the access breaks down and comes up again. Sole usage of antibiotics will do no good. The pus has to be Chat Doctor. At my clinic I usually provide an antibiotic coverage of amoxicillin and metronidazole along with a painkiller and antiimflamatroy combination for such an infection. I advise you to avoid self-medication and visit your dentist soon. Take care.
