[|Human|] I had an infection in or around my wisdom tooth. I was prescribed antibiotics which I took (even the refill) but the pain is still there & still bad as ever. Ive finished the antibiotics 3 days ago. Shouldnt it have helped already? Why do I still feel pain? My right side of my mouth hurts, my ear feels like I have a ear infection its hurts bad & my throat is swollen on the right side. I have been dealing with this pain for over a month already :(
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com. I had gone through your question I can understand your concern about your tooth related infection. As per your history it seems to me you have 3rd molar infection which I can understand is because of peritonitis of the related tooth. As you know 3rd molars are not functionally important you need to get your tooth extracted. Because of the recurrent infection it can involve the upper part of throat, ear and limit your mouth opening. Antibiotics can provide you relief only for some days, and you will get another reinfection and this vicious cycle will continue. For pain relief you can take medication like Ibuprofen if you have no problem with it. Or you can take broad spectrum antibiotics, but the only solution is extraction. My opinion is got your tooth removed. Hope my answer will help you and write to us in case you want any further assistance. Regards Chat Doctor.
