[|Human|] my dentist did a open my tooth up for a root canal while it was abcessed and did not give me any antibiofics for 2 weeks. then he gave me penicillin for a week. now he put some liquid medicine in the tooth and I go back to him in 3 weeks. this will make 2 months with this tooth and he did another root canal first and that is not filled in. someone please tell me how to handle this. im uncertain of how this could affect my body
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The infected tooth can be treated with RCT once the infection subsides and when there is no pus discharge from the canals. You should take a proper course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Once the completion of antibiotics you can start the RCT. Consult one more endodontist and take one more opinion about RCT. It is not needed to postpone the treatment for such a long time unless there is severe infection. Even though there is such a severe infection, it should subside by taking antibiotics. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
