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.

Not sure if my last reply was posted , so I'll try again. The infection was

there before the RC and still exsists a month later.There's no pain. I was on

Cephelixin for a while , which helped ,but used my last refill a week ago-.

Still get the redness and pus from my gum. My regular dentist says it's normal

,but I'm not so sure. Should I ask my endontist to write me another prescription

?

PUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I'd totally go to urgent care or a general pracitioner a family practice guy or

another dentist for a second opinion (last choice) or Mexico ( 3rd choice) and

get antibiotics.Thiss sounds like the stupidest thing I ever heard in my life. I

almost think this post is a joke. Are there really dentists that say this? What

country  is this happening in? Are you allergic  to everything or something?

PUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS?

AFTER HOW LONG?

I can't even write what I think because we finally have a real dentist on this

list.

I don't want to scare hinm away.

Btw, doc, when pros come to boards, they dont risk their lic., because they just

say stuff in past tense. It amounts to a disclaimer. Like the "vet" will say

what has worked for him in the past. etc. "What he has seen in the past." And we

all us, as "adults" take it from there. YOu ususlaly don't find idiots that put

their babies in microwaves online, really.

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.

I'm taking garlic pills this week , a great natural antibiotic , and I happy to

say no more pus. I'll continue to take them until the redness is gone.
