Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

All tooth abscess may not require antibiotics like cephelexin .

I would advice you to visit the dentist first and buy the medicine with prescription later.

For the pain you can take ibuprofen tablet (if you are not allergic to any medicine).

Do saline gargling.

Thanks and regards .
