Yes i made a trip to the ER yesterday and they sent me home with a few anti biotics and a steroid pill. But the reason i went was due to an absess tooth and it looks like a massive cyst on top of the swelling from the absess. But i was wondering as to if the medicine they prescribed me will help to bring down the cyst or should i visit the ER again? Thank you very much.
Hello, You have symptoms of the abscessed tooth with cystic swelling which is mainly due to a severe tooth infection, and it reaches the tips of the root and form abscess and cyst. So you should visit the dentist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon once and doctor my order bite test or order x-ray of that particular tooth to check the extent of infection and treat it accordingly. For now, what you can do is continue applying Travel or clove oil as they are helping you in relieving pain. As far as antibiotics are a concern you can take ampicillin or amoxicillin as it will help in decreasing infection and only after this other dental procedure of RCT or extraction can be done. I would suggest doing warm saline rinses or baking soda rinses 3-4 times a day, they will be very helpful in relieving symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
