Someone please tell me if this is normal re extraction?!

[CarolFuckinBaskin]

I've attached all the details in the two photos below detailing what's been happening over lockdown.

My question is should I STILL be experiencing significant pain in the gum around the extraction after this long and 5 courses of antibiotics??

Can ANYONE offer any pearls of wisdom? I've followed all the dentists advice thus far.

Bumping to see if anyone can help

Anyone at all?

I can’t help with the pain but I thought you were one of the patients I had been dealing with except our areas are completely different. Unfortunately difficult extractions can take longer to heal.
The antibiotics you’ve been prescribed I find slightly unusual and it’s not how I would prescribe. For instance I would have prescribed amoxicillin to begin with not erythromycin (as I wouldn’t prescribe that. I used to prescribe that if you had been allergic to amoxicillin but as you were also prescribed that you obviously aren’t. Clarithromycin would then have been my choice if you were allergic). Then I would have prescribed co-amoxiclav. Then possibly metronidazole. I’m not saying their way is wrong just not my way

Sounds normal to me. Teeth are a pain sometimes!

@RobinHumphries thanks for replying. Do you think I should get the clarithromycin and do a sixth course? I take is as you are indeed a dentist.

@TheMammothHunters they certainly are!

Do you have any medical conditions/taking medication that could make you more susceptible to infection or delay heading? Diabetes/immunosuppressants etc...? If not it sounds like just terrible luck with a really infected tooth. I ask because I had similar situation with a patient years ago who only disclosed to me weeks after the extraction and constant pain that he was taking an immunosuppressant drug which, if I had known, I would have referred him to specialist care for the extraction.

@Milk

No, no immunosuppressants, I take sertraline 150mg, Propanalol 10mg, and the POP
