dental abscess
"Pain last Friday, but didn't go to dentist. Banging on his door Tuesday (bank-holiday!)
Cleared out an infection between 2 teeth, X-ray showed no sign of trouble.  Another sleepless night and I'm back and got 200mg Metronidazole and 500 mg Amoxicillin 3 a day for a week.  48 hours in and I'm typing this at 4.10a.m. For something to do and hopefully inform others.  Just want the pain to stop.  Taking paracetamols, but not effective.  Bonus no side effects and no horrid taste.  The tooth is crowned and root filled, so I just hope the drugs work, as I once took Fosomax which can make dental work very doggy re possible complications."
