"My husband has been given Amoxicillin 500 mg 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 500 mg, 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 do, as I just cannot bear 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 than a few times. I became 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 than giving birth. The dentist took my tooth out, scraped out the infection, and put in a bone graft and sewed it up with stitches. I'm still in a world of pain. Amoxicillin does absolutely nothing, if anything, I feel it's making the pain worse. I can't take anything but Tylenol because I'm 6 months pregnant. The worst 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."

"I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed, plus 4 second molars (two on top and two on the bottom). Doc prescribed this antibiotic with T3. Antibiotics caused my entire body to be itchy. Each time right after taking the antibiotic, I get chills and then fever-like symptoms...dizziness, shakes, and nausea, and very disoriented. Also caused hiccups every time afterward. Goes away, but the itching doesn't. The left side of my face is more swollen than the right one. It's day two. Was told it would be much worse at day 3. Not liking this antibiotic at all. But because I had so many teeth removed at once, I have to stick with it and rinsing with salt water in order to avoid infection."

"After taking amoxicillin for 1 day, 3 pills of amoxicillin, I started noticing a nasty taste in my mouth, my saliva tastes like sweat. I stopped taking amoxicillin for a week, and the taste has not gone away. After reading the side effects, it is a side effect to have a nasty taste in the mouth from taking amoxicillin. I wonder how long till I don't taste sweat."

"It did a great job in getting rid of the infection in my mouth. The V.A. doctors gave me 875 mg of amoxicillin, and it started working in about 2 days. The swelling and pain have completely gone."

"Works like a charm after only one day. The tooth pain was gone, and the swelling was down. I will take for another 6 days, so as to kill any lingering infection."

"Tomorrow is my last day on amoxicillin, and even though the swelling has gone down, the gum around my wisdom tooth is still very sore. My hope in this working is very low."
