Suggest Treatment For A Cracked Tooth And Sore Upper Palate

I have a sore upper palate. I have had it for about a week. I went into urgent care on sunday of this week, and was put on flagyl for BV, doxycycline for a UTI, and Dulfican for a yeast infection. I also think I have a cracked tooth. This is all such a bother. I don't know if I should wait this out, go to an endodontist, see my regualr doc or go to my dentist.

Hello dear
First of all dont worry and be relaxed. I will provide you with my best possible advice.
•Firstly for the sore palate you can use topical gels(commonly chlorhexidine and metronidazole combination or only chlorhexidine). Use it thrice daily for 4-5 days and also rinse your mouth with chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily(preferebly in morning and in night before going to bed) for 15 days.Do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes aftet using mouthwash.Symptoms should start reducing within 2 days.
• Now coming towards the cracked tooth, If it is cracked, its treatment will depend upon the extent and severety of the damage. You can visit your family dentist or even endodontist with whom you are more comfortable.Definitly your problems will be solved.
Hope this will help you
Thank You and Take Care.
