[|Human|] I went to see the doctor for strep throat.I am taking penicillin. My left tonsil is swollen but recently Ive been having toothaches where my wisdom teeth are (which are also on the left) my cheek is a bit swollen and the gums near my wisdom teeth are also. I scheduled a check up for my teeth. Should I stop taking the antibiotics? I have for days left of taking it.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and swelling could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (periodontal infection leading to space infection). Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. If I am your treating doctor, I would suggest you to take metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic) along with penicillin. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
