Hi,
Just after some advice. Last week I started feel a painful pressure when I ate on my right had side of my mouth, over the weekend my whole face hurt on that side, jawline, gland, ear and temple. I've been to the dentist and they found a 'pocket' as I was very sensitive to hot and cold, so they gave me some antibiotics, something beginning with a 'P' (I can't remember?) the pain started to subside along with the help of co-codimol. I went back to the dentist today and they have said that it looks like I am developing an abscess so they have proscribed me Amoxicillin until I have a root canal next Friday.
Thing is I took my first tablet a few hours ago and the pain has come back more localised and a horrible taste in my mouth, but the worrying thing I have worse ear pain and temple pain, is this normal considering it has started to settle down? I'd have thought carrying on with the antibiotics even though a different kind would just aid the healing process.
I can't see an abscess, so can't say if anything is draining as such? Any advice would be good as I am reading some very worrying things on the net about the infection spreading to other parts or your body, like your brain!!!
Thanks
