[|Human|] Hi, I have been prescribed flagyl for a tooth infection.  I have had infection in a different tooth before and had ammoxicillan and it worked fine.  This time my dentist gave me flagyl and ammoxicillan.  I have heard and read things about flagyl that I dont feel comfortable with.  They say you need to stay out of the sunlight while taking it.  Is this true?
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for posting here. Amoxicillin is given in cases where there is noticeable aerobic infection. However, your doctor might have suspected an abscess in this tooth. So, he preferred combination of these two antibiotics. Metronidazole does make skin sensitive, but it in a very lower proportion of people. It can be comfortably taken for a complete course of this antibiotic. Your dentist will weigh the pros and cons of its usage. So, do not panic. Take it as advised. If you still prefer to avoid it, or experience a side effect, talk to him for a change in the prescription. Regards.
