How Can A Painful Abscess Be Treated Despite Taking Amoxicillin?
Hi doctor, I have been in excruciating pain with an abcess all day, went to a&e and they gave me antibiotics (amoxicillin), anti-inflams (naproxen) and cocodomol. Ive taken over the course of today 4x paracetamol, 2x 15/500 cocodomols, an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory. The last two cocodomol I took (an hour and a half ago) did absolutely nothing, I genuinely felt the pain get worse. Although perhaps not advised, would there be any realistic risk to my health if I smoked some weed for the pain and to take my mind away? Many Thanks

Hello,
A complete full course of amoxicillin even if there is no relief. Go for pus culture and sensitivity and plan for appropriate antibiotics.
Do not use amoxicillin antibiotic in the future, it is not helping you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
