Tooth pain and amoxicillin pregnancy 35 weeks

[xsara1x]

Hello I'm in agony have been since Sunday I got an emergency appointment yesterday and was given amoxicillin I'm 35 weeks pregnant I haven't eaten or slept for a. Couple of days properly I've been everywhere as paracetamol won't give me relief I've got ear ache and headache too

I need some relief
I've tried oragel
Salt water

Everything you can think of

presumably the prescribing medical professional could see you were pregnant?

Yes they know
I'm in so much agony I can't find any relief

Zapain worked for me.

Had to be prescribed by my GP who I begged for something because the dentist can only prescribe certain things and decent pain relief seems to not be on their remit. My GP did say that because it was a dental issue the dentist was responsible for prescribing antibiotics and pain relief. GP did it anyway

I was in absolute agony

They have said the same to me today and won't help me :(

so… take it 😕

the amoxicillin will kick in very quickly

You can buy paracetamol and codeine over the counter.

Hopefully the antibiotics will work quickly.

I’d say go back to the dentist for better pain relief. If they say they can’t because you pregnant then direct them to this service - https://uktis.org/ say you’ll wait until they’ve spoken to them. There are many pain relief options available for use during pregnancy.

Have you not taken the antibiotics?

I'm on my 4th one I just need relief from the constant pain

They are telling me I can not take codiene as I'm heavily pregnant it's a joke honestly I just need relief

How quick pls :(

within 48 hours you should notice a stark improvement

Many women take codeine if needed during pregnancy. There is a slight risk if you take it early on and potentially the risk of baby having withdrawals with heavy use up to birth but you need it for a temporary problem. Go back to the dentist if your GP won’t help. There is a number the dentist can call for advise on prescribing pain relief during pregnancy if they are not confident about it.

If it as me I’d get someone else to buy it for me over the counter and not say it for a pregnant woman. Obviously that isn’t advisable but it’s what I would do if I needed relief quickly.

Take the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time.
