Gum Infection In An Old Root Canal, Took Amoxicillin, Ciprolex. Lips And Face Tingling, Couldn't Breathe. Medications ?

I have a gum infection in an old root canal that was never crowned. I started taking amoxicillian today.
I am also currently taking Ciprolex for anxiety and depression.
To top it off I am smoking methemphetamines.

My face started to tingle and my lips went numb after I flossed and mouthwashed.
5 minutes later my whole right side went numb and muscled started contracting and then the left side.
so I was numb and tingling and I couldn't breath. Hyperventilating.


Do these medications/drugs have bad reaction to one another? any ideas?

hello
please do not take any medicines without consulting your doctor since you are having so many other problems too.. yes the drugs may have adverse reactions... you go to your dentist and get scaling done for that tooth.. also ask him to take an x ray and know the condition of root canal treated tooth may be you require a re RCT.also get it crowned THIS TIME...
