"Dental abscess in lockdown I took amoxicillin and dental pain slowly went over the year but caused pain in neck, jaw, arm. One year later dentist prescribed amoxicillin for root canal and hey presto pain in neck, jaw, arm disappeared after fourth tablet. Unfortunately upon this work taking a 2 weeks pain re-appeared in neck, jaw, arm and I woke up with 'poison' pains in elbows, knees, under arms, heart, wrists, hips, groin, feet which worked off over each day. Then added headache in sinuses and brain for three weeks so far. Doctor stumped, and refused to prescribe antiobiotics twice before, now I have a one week dose of 250mg from me insisting third time this is a bacterial infection from my abscess and I don't want physio. I've searched up dental abscess to bacterermia to septic arthritis and lymph nodes. Amoxycillin worked 100% in lockdown and from the dentist so I think it will work again."

"My husband has been given Amoxicillin 500mg x 3 daily for a bad tooth and is now on day 4 of them, but he is still in very bad pain with this problem, he has also taken 1 daily of Paracetamol 500mg as these Amoxicillin after 4 days do not seem to have helped him, he can't eat without pain and has tried the other side to eat but still no difference. Could anyone please tell me what he could as I just can not bare to see him suffer like this, it is so very hard to get an appointment as all the NHS dentists are not taking on new patients due to this virus. Should he call the dentist he did see or go to our nearest hospital dentist. Please could someone help me with this please, what would you do ?"

"Had a broken tooth for a few years it got infected and I've taken amoxicillin for it more then a few times. I because pregnant and the tooth pain erupted like a pain I've never had before and I already have 2 children and this pain is far worse then giving birth. Dentist took my tooth out scrapped out the infection and out in a bone graft and sewed it up with stitches. I'm still in a world of pain amoxicillin does absolute nothing if anything I feel its making pain worse. I can't take anything but tylenol because I'm 6 months pregnant. Worse pain of my entire life. It is awful and amoxicillin does not always work especially for tooth infections."

"Previous dental work has begun failing and allowed an infection to form in my lower jaw. The pain radiated throughout the left side of my entire head. The dentist prescribed 500mg Amoxicillin every 8 hours for 7 days. It took until the 3rd dose before the pain subsided. This medication does work, for some people like me, it may take a few doses. I do feel tired and lack energy, but I'm not sure if that is from 3 days of pain or the medication. I take the pills with a nutritional drink. The first dose I took with water and got sharp stabbing pains in my belly, that's why I switched to a nutritional drink."
