Tooth ache, taking amoxicillin for two days but pain is getting worse

hi with coronavirus you don't need to take ibuprofen it can make things worse with coronavirus,

Put clove oil around the infected tooth. It will help with the pain but its best not to use clove oil too much.

I had a horrible toothache a couple days ago and started taking amoxicillin....woke up the next morning with no more tooth pain but jaw was very swollen.....2 days later....still no more tooth pain but jaw is still swollen and I've been taken amoxicillin as perscribed......getten a bit concerned here🥺

hey, i basically could've written this myself... I've been on amoxicillin for two days and all that's happened is my jaw hurts more? painkillers don't touch the pain at all and i can barely swallow... dentist was treating me like i was crazy because i came to him CRYING and writhing because of the pain (I'm 20 and he seemed very unimpressed)

honestly i hope we start to feel better soon because this is honestly killing me... i have a 7 month old who constantly wants me at her side and i can barely breathe, let alone smile and interact with her.

So here i am. Saturday nignt. England lost to france at the world cup. Some co-codamol got me through. I broke a bit of my back tooth few months ago. All of a sudden the pain kicked in.

Went dentist they re did the filling and gave me Amoxicillin. Not sure if i took it wrong just said take 3 500mg evenly out through the day. Maybe i spread them out to long..

This has no effect and i've been in agony! got emergency root canal done. As soon as the numbness wore of the pain came back with a vengeance. Phoned them up straight after said carry on taking pain killers and the antibiotics.

Just worried its not caused issues to my other teeth. Had a private xray done a year ago and some recent fillings were leaky maybe they gotten worse. Just seems like the quality of care under the nhs is not as good any more.

At first i could manage with 1 200mg ibuprofen every 4 hours and a paracetamol every 3 hours now that don't seem effective.

Just waiting till Monday. while the pains feels like its spread across other teeth. In a short few days its put my whole life on pause and completely paralysed me.

i know this article was over 6 years ago but last Thursday i had a wisdom tooth out however 6 days on i was still in pain so went back to the dentist who prescribed amoxicillin for 5 days 2 days on and im still in pain The tooth is healing well but im in terrible gum and jaw pain. Maybe im being too impatient but i hope it goes away soon. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar

I had my wisdom teeth out & my gums & jaw took a while to heal & I'm going through the same thing the girl who posted 6 yrs ago went through, right now too.. Ouch! started to have pain in tooth at back of my teeth, got really bad had a night of really bad pain that cocodamol & ibuprofen didn't help stop. Phoned dentist 1st thing Monday morning only to be told i couldn't get appointment til 2:30pm the next day! has a night of agony had to ring 111 & nearly drive myself to A&E as the pain was so bad. 111 gave me phone number for local emergency dentist who told me there no dentists available through their service! But advised me to ring dentist to demand to be seen, which i did & was given an earlier appointment. 10:30am was so relieved to be seen! Dentist said I needed a root canal but would have to be done later in the month but prescribed antibiotics. Started taking them right away but the pain that day was horrendous so horrendous i had to ring 111 again as I was in so MUCH pain! They said the antibiotics would kick in soon but it couldn't happen quick enough! All of a sudden the pain stopped! I was so relieved! Just to be out of pain! But then my jaw area got rock hard & now my face has swollen & can hardly open my mouth.. but I'm not in pain! Thankfully! Got a doctors appointment that was already made for something else, so hoping he/she can check my mouth etc today to reassure me its all ok! i can vouch toothache/infection is the worst pain ever! Antibiotics are miracle medicine!
