Having problems with message search?
Had my root canal a month ago, which was preceded by a related gum infection. After a month, I still see redness of the gum by that tooth,and a pus discharge every day or 2. There's no pain at all , but noticed a slight numbness on that whole side of my face for a while today. Hope it's not spreading. My endontist had me on Cephelexin for a while, and that kept it down. But I've gone through my last refill. Should I have him write me another prescription ?.Or is this something that will pass after a while ? My regular dentist who put the crown on, didn't seem too concerned , said it was normal and would last up to a year. Now I don't know what to think !! Any over the counter drugs or herbs that might help ? Thanks for any advice.

3-10 days, right?
But I think you must take antibiotics.
Take them right and fisish the Tx.
I think Clindamycin is this years rage.
It's what works this year....?
Anybody know more?
Motrin Aleve helps a lot.
Read warnings though.
Pay attention to what yer doing.
