Abscess/antibiotics/

dragona

How long on average does it take for antibiotics to give some improvement on a dental abscess? Five days on and no improvement at all Not looking for medical advice -have been back to dentist twice, and doctor too -am on two different antibiotics (allergic to usual ones prescribed for dental infections) and am thinking of going to A+E later But not if they are going to laugh in my face and tell me to see doctor/dentist again.......... Face and neck swollen and hot.....fever.....what are the odds on them sending me away Feels like its getting worse not better

It sounds like your infection is very severe. Ask your dentist to refer to A&E if they think it is indicated. You won't be turned away this way.
