Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain the pain is not subsiding as you are taking only antibiotic
Amoxicillin which is meant to reduce the bacterial infection that is causing
dental abscess and
fever is also due to
Septicemia and Bacterimia as the bacteria enters blood from the site of infection and cause rise in temperature which is a body'd immune mechanism to fight with infection..
As far as pain is concerned it takes a considerably longer time for the infection to reduce sufficiently that the pain subsides and when there is pus formation at times the pain and infection does not completely subside until the tooth is either treated or extracted..
So you have to take a higher painkiller like
Tramadol 50mg [Ultram] 4 times a day for pain reduction and continue with amoxicillin..
You should
consult a dentist on the day you are appointed as you are already taking antibiotics so some level of resolution of infection will take place until then and the surgeon will definitely extract your offending tooth..
Avoid chewing from the painful side and take a
soft diet..
Also avoid very hot and cold food as it can trigger pain..
Do not do hot compresses over swelling as it will exaggerate the swelling and discomfort..
Hope this information helps..
