DEMAND DOXICYCLINE.
EVEN GET IT FROM A GP IF YOU HAVE TO.
ALSO, I'D THINKABOUT SWITHCING DENTISTGS.
ARE YOU ON MEDICAL OR MEDICAID TO GET SUCH BAD TREAtment?
It seems to be commmon.

Hi Just joined this group today..I am also having problems..Had an
upper molar extracted 3 wks ago by an oral surgeon...Just yesterday I
noticed a bump on my gum above the extraction site and it was
draining a white puss...Went back to OS and he said infection..Gave
me penicillin and a mouth rinse (Peridex) and told me it shows
something on xray in extraction site (food, bone, he doesnt know) He
also now wants to go under the scar tissue and clean it out..So far I
have been on the penicillin for 3 days and no difference..have pain
and soreness all around the extraction and gum area...Supposed to get
it debrided or whatever tomm...I am pissed I have to go back..Thought
once the tooth was out, my problems would be over!  Just wondering
what happened with your problem and how you made out
Nancy
