Can a huge dental abcess harm my unborn baby?
Im 14 weeks pregnant and had a rough pregnancy so far (high risk due to Extrachrionic Haemorrhage and 8 previous miscarriages) and ive been put on antibiotics (Amoxycillin 500mg) and have been on them for about 3 months due to a small abcess (was on the waiting list for a dentist) I have been allocated a dentist and went to see them last week where i got told (as i suspected) that i needed to have a tooth extracted, this should of been done tomorrow, However this morning i woke up this morning with a huge lump on the right hand side of my face (looks like im smuggling golf balls!!) the infection has clearly spread. I have been back to my dentist this morning who have said i need to have my gum slit to release the infection and still have the tooth extracted. Anyways my appointment isn't for another week and i was wondering if this is ok or will the infection spread and harm baby? I know this sounds silly to ask but i dont know if it can
Thanks people - The Amoxycillin has been prescribed by both my Doctor and Dentist. As for a Gynacologist though i dont have one. Am in UK and have a midwife who has said that the tablets are ok to take too
What will happen if i postpone my root canal?
I was experiencing a severe pain in my tooth and went to see a dentist. The dentist recommended me a root canal and gave me some pain killers and Amoxycillin capsules 500mg. But I want to do the root canal in my home town in two months. What are the consequences of postponing the root canal treatment? Thanks.
Is there no problem taking amoxycillin 500mg while taking anti-hypertension drugs?
I am currently on medication to lower my blood pressure. I am taking losartan, atenolol and aspirin. Just recently, I have problem with my upper teeth (molar) and was given amoxycillin to stop the infection. I am working in the middle of the desert and what we have in the field is just a small clinic for emergency purposes only. Thanks.

I was really sick and had flu, cough and high fever so the doc prescribe some medicine, antibotics: Amoxycillin 250mg, flu: chlorpheniramine 4mg, cough: theophylline 100mg, fever: paracetamol 500mg.. What i want to ask is does these medicine affect ttc? I'm taking these medicine while on period so do i still have chance to conceive this month or do I wait for next mth to ttc? Any advice would very much be appreciated :)
abscessed tooth - is the antibiotics given to me suffcient in dosage?
I had swollen gums and have signs of an absessed tooth. Went to see a GP and he prescribed antibiotics - Amoxycillin 500mg. 2 days have passed, the pain subsided but the swell is still there. Is the antibiotiocs working, or should I see my dentist to increase the dosage of antibiotics?
What else should I do to reduce the swell?
