please help me i am in severe chronic pain i am taking naproxene and cefalexin for a day and a half and pain wont go... I went to my dentist because my two front tooth is very painful but no cavity or cracked...then she cleaned and ask me to take the medicines...but the pain wont go and it wont make me sleep. the pain is really unberable it gives me severe headache especially on my left side. i am putting cold packs on my left cheek and upper mouth since the swelling is there. i went to periodontist and she said my gums are healthy but on the x ray it says i have acute periapical peridontitis... please help me my dentist wants to do root canal after i finished the seven days of my antibiotic. ..i have hard time tallking and my nose area to my upper lip is a bit swollen now... any medicine or anything i can do to relive the pain??? please please help Absolutely no way to be specific over the internet. Pain from the inside of a tooth will generally not go away fully until the tooth has had a root canal treatment, or has been removed. However, severe swelling can make performing either procedure very painful. Antibiotic will usually get the swelling down, but will not treat the dead tissue inside the tooth. A course of antibiotic gets the swelling down so that the tooth can then be treated. Typically takes 2-4 days for the antibiotic to begin making a difference. Most people notice a difference on the third day. Sometimes, the antibiotic will make the swelling feel "harder", and then "pop" and drain a bunch of foul tasting pus.

Would that be opposed to *good* tasting pus ? :-P I was about to comment on some of the various available flavors, but remembered the email contest you and I had a couple of years ago. You won that contest handily. I shutter to think how you might win a "scent" contest. :-)) Signature/ Amatus / > >>Sometimes, the antibiotic will make the swelling feel "harder", and then >>"pop" and drain a bunch of foul tasting pus. > > Would that be opposed to *good* tasting pus ? :-P >I was about to comment on some of the various available flavors, but >remembered the email contest you and I had a couple of years ago.
