My mothor is 73 years old, she is hypertensive and has a stent in her heart. She has some tooth infection now, also has cough and mild fever. She lives in another city and I cannot check her temperature. Would you prescribe some safe antibiotic for her?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as your mother had infection in tooth with mild fever and history of hypertension dont worry I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for treatment of infection in tooth that will give her relief medication will give temporary relief only .
As you are asking for medication you can give her Amoxicillin for tooth infection by consulting with local doctor . Advise her to go warm saline gargle two - three times a day .

Hope this will help you.
Wishing her good health.
