Currently suffering from pericoronitis 😢
Symptoms started on Saturday night and I attended dentist on Monday morning for emergency treatment where they cleaned out affected area and issued me with a 5 day course of antibiotics. After two full days so far of taking the antibiotics the pain is just as bad as ever, I don't feel any easing at all. I've been taking ibuprofen and paracetamol, rinsing my mouth regularly with warm salt water and using anbesol but nothing is helping. It is too painful to chew so all I've been able to eat is yoghurts and icecream!
Does anyone know if this is normal? I.e. should I be feeling the benefits of the antibiotics yet? Also can anyone recommend other types of pain relief I can try? I have hardly had any sleep last few days and I am desperate!
