Sick After Going to Dentist Posted: 01-21-04 19:23pm
I went to dentist on friday and had two
teeth pulled on upper right side and by
sunday I had a med size blister on the
right side of my tongue and a very sore
throat. I have been taking 500mg
penacillin twice a day since friday, I
went to my doctor and he gave me a shot of
penacillin. I have also been putting
peroxid on my tongue. This is thursday
and I still can't swallow and the blister
is still there.
Can anyone help or advise or have been in
this situation
help

Ulcers are not uncommon after dental work
such as extractions.
I would keep in contact with your doctor
as ulcers in the throat can be very
painful. The antibiotics should help to
settle the condition down in time.
Rinising your month with warm salt water
may help the healing process, I would have
thought antibiotics three times a day
would be a more approipriate dosage.
Plenty of fluids may also help to ease the
throat discomfort.
