Been prescribed metronidazole 400mg x 3 for 5 days by the dentist for a wisdom tooth inferior. on day 3 today and feeling so groggy, tired, nauseous - Is it the antibiotics ? Anyone been prescribed them and had similar experience? Or is it the infection? I'm quite sure I wasn't this bad before I started taking the tablets !

@AwkwardSquad oh crikey that sounds absolutely awful! This is what I'm so confused about .. the dentist is saying it's an infection but there's no swelling or pain or anything in my mouth!

@YorkieDorkie yes I'm using corsodyl

@hatenighttime most mouthwashes contain alcohol - with metronidazole it's absolutely ZERO alcohol. Even a drop can make you feel very ill!

My dentist says hot salt water is better than mouthwash.
