    Just stating my case , I have a heart murmur so Dentist said could not pull or work on tooth while infected as puss/infection could get into my bloodstream and cause damage to the heart.  Was given Amoxicillan 500 for a week and told to come back. Took 400 to 800 MG of Ibuprofen for pain and actually busted the large swelling on gum myself with sterilised pin. Need to rinse moth ofted with Listerine and/or salt water so you don't swallow puss. After that no more pain and went  back and had the wisdom tooth pulled.

     

    lots of old textbooks cover heart murmurs as related to dental procedures.  thing is newer evidence has shown echocardiograms are better to show-confirm the suspected valvular problem.

     

    once you know for sure what the valve problem is and degree your doctor can know what is called for

    Screwing around with antibiotics is stupid

     

    Amoxy is tried and tested sounds like your initial course was not long enough & therein lies the problem in SE Asia and Asia in general they give very short course and the dosages are usually smaller than western medicine.

    Its not to late to start back on amoxy

    first dose 1 gram then 500mg evey 8 hours for 7 days

     

    you may have to move onto amoxicillin with clavulanic acid
    but go to a pharmacy that has the local generic imported costs a lot

    Do not take Flagyl (metro) that screws your gut up

     

     

    'op said he has kidney problems

     

     

    hello

  3. if you have actual kidney disease/decreased renal function the antibiotic dose should be adjusted(lowered) for your specific degree of impairment. 

     

    a hospital visit can help you especially if they have a dental division.  a hot tooth or abscess often warrants a narcotic pain killer if you are not allergic . thailand has codeine at hospitals

     

    i had a hot tooth from pulpitis while in vietnam and got over the weekend til my dentist returned from a conference with otc codeine. i broke the tabled into pieces and used just enough to control pain without getting zonked out.

     

    in bangkok mahidol university runs a dental clinic

    Diagnosis

    In addition to examining your tooth and the surrounding area, your dentist may:

    • Tap on your teeth. A tooth that has an abscess at its root is generally sensitive to touch or pressure.
    • Recommend an X-ray. An X-ray of the aching tooth can help identify an abscess. Your dentist may also use X-rays to determine whether the infection has spread, causing abscesses in other areas.
    • Recommend a CT scan. If the infection has spread to other areas within the neck, a CT scan may be used to assess the extent of the infection.
     

    More Information

    Treatment

    The goal of treatment is to get rid of the infection. To accomplish this, your dentist may:

    • Open up (incise) and drain the abscess. The dentist will make a small cut into the abscess, allowing the pus to drain out, and then wash the area with salt water (saline). Occasionally, a small rubber drain is placed to keep the area open for drainage while the swelling decreases.
    • Perform a root canal. This can help eliminate the infection and save your tooth. To do this, your dentist drills down into your tooth, removes the diseased central tissue (pulp) and drains the abscess. He or she then fills and seals the tooth's pulp chamber and root canals. The tooth may be capped with a crown to make it stronger, especially if this is a back tooth. If you care for your restored tooth properly, it can last a lifetime.
    • Pull the affected tooth. If the affected tooth can't be saved, your dentist will pull (extract) the tooth and drain the abscess to get rid of the infection.
    • Prescribe antibiotics. If the infection is limited to the abscessed area, you may not need antibiotics. But if the infection has spread to nearby teeth, your jaw or other areas, your dentist will likely prescribe antibiotics to stop it from spreading further. He or she may also recommend antibiotics if you have a weakened immune system.

    Yup we need it each and every sheet so much winning!!how many dead today??was it 6.6 million applied for unemployment today?yup each and every sheet beat that con man like a drum joe Biden truth and facts get your TEAM behind you and expose trump for what he is

    So Biden is going to be the one to expose Trump for what he is? Maybe he should sit down with Mueller for some tips.

     

    sadly but true mueller as a biden running mate would compliment biden perfectly as they both seem to be on the same wavelength plus at the hearings mueller did not even speak incoherently about what he could not remember.

    37.3 degrees is now a potential Covid sympton? Strewth - many people get to that temperature by walking from the car park in the midday sun into Tesco or Makro!

     

    "A fever is usually when your body temperature is 37.8C or higher" (UK NHS guidelines)

     

     

    good point. another thing is infection can also cause a drop in temperature aka hypothermic  as in hypothermic sepsis.  i usually register 35 on the big c thermal camera but never questioned

    So true we have the dolt as President and soon to be indicted come January. Biden is more a centralist than a liberal. 

    Biden, aka "the Senator from MBNA", is the banksters' best friend. But really, it's not about that or his ideology. The obvious issue is his dementia.

     

    the anti trumpers will say biden's dementia is better than trumps dementia

    dont know why sri lanka tea is so expensive.  maybe not asean member ??

     

    in sri lanka you wil find tea up the wazoo and most is excellent and really cheap. dilmah is a luxury brand there so costs maybe 15% more but still a bargain.  in general black tea from there is excellent and there are tons of brands and usually cant tell difference between them and luxury brand or non luxury brand is rated higher

    There's a lot wrong in this post. Correct me if I'm wrong but the stock market has just fallen, what? 35%?  It fell more than 80% during the Great Depression. American companies are not supporting the government at this time, it is the reverse that is happening. I think your favorite company, Boeing just got billions and billions in free money from the government. It is a terrible sign, and something not to be wished for, that the richest people and/or companies are the providers of our country's basic needs because the country that made them rich can't, because they were too busy making these people rich.
