[|Human|] Hi, I am a 27 yr old female who currently in pain due to an infected tooth n root. I have an infection in one of my premolars and I cant get a root canal at the moment. The only health issues I hve is asthma,seasonal allergies,along with food n allergic to penicillin vicodin n latex. I am currently in dental school and my teacher says I need to treat the infection first so I am wondering if I take Erythrocin as an antibiotic will it help treat the infection until I get a root canal. Also what else can I do for the pain while it heals? How long do I take the antibiotics for? And last what are the possible side effects for going too long with an infected tooth and roots? Please help this woman in pain :-(
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query, as you have infected tooth, and you have toothache I will suggest you to go for Root canal treatment as early as possible that will give you relief in pain, as you are asking to take antibiotic course of medication that will give you temporary relief in pain. You can take medicine Amoxicillin course of antibiotic with analgesic Paracetamol, you can take vitamin B supplements, do warm saline gargle two - three times a day and go for treatment as early as possible. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health.
