Hello again, thank you for all the replies just thought i would give a quick update on the situation. My dentist said i switched to taking 12 in 12 that it would be fine that seemed to stop any stomach issue. I finished my antibiotics last night but developed swelling 2 days before not sure if its an abscess because when i had my past ones it would viably come out on my gums this just seems to be way up there i went to check the name of the bone where i have pain ahahaha its called the zygomatic bone in the small circular ball right underneath it feels bruised. So i had pain seems on the nerve right inside the tooth which stopped and seemed to go right up into the root. Right now i still feel swelling and some discomfort but i have to wait until monday to go in i hope that the infection doesn't come back or gets worse pretty scared of a brain infection.
Thank you once again for replying the probiotics did help out a lot.
Take the Agumentin (amoxicillin and clav) with a full glass of water when you take it and try to have food with it. That helps with stomach issues. They do often use that dose BID, or twice a day (12 hours) but TID is also done. The issue is that teeth are close to the brain, right? Dentists do not play around when knocking out an infection. And Amoxicillin is very commonly used at higher doses now (due to resistance). The clavulanate doesn't go up, just the amoxicillin). Check in with your doctor and report your stomach issue but in general, try the full glass of water and food. It most often does solve the problem of this particular compound.
Hello~I am sorry you are having these issues with pain. Unfortunately, we are not qualified to give dosage recommendations, I would certainly contact your dentist again and explain how you are feeling and make sure you heard her right regarding the prescription dosage. Also, if you don't get any satisfying answers from the dentist, then contact the pharmacist, many times, they can help as they are usually more familiar with the meds and dosage than the doctor.
As to the horrible tummy pain, sadly, this is common with many antibiotics, I would go to the health food store and buy a good, high potency pro-biotic, this will help to put back the "friendly bacteria" that the antibiotics are removing, I do this when I take antibiotics and it helps.
I hope you feed better soon.
We can't give dosing information here, but please call your dentist and confirm that the dosage is what he intended to prescribe. Your pharmacist is also a good source of information. Don't switch the dosage on your own.
Stomach issues like those you are describing are not uncommon during a course of antibiotics. You can take probiotics or eat probiotic yogurt to help minimize the impact on your gut flora.
