Yes, you can establish pus drainage by yourself since you don't have access to a dentist for now.
Apply a hot compress to draw the abscess to the surface. If there is no broken skin on the abscess, you can purchase magnesium sulphate from the pharmacy and apply this to the abscess. This is a drawing ointment and can only be used on unbroken skin.
Whilst you are taking the antibiotics, it would be advisable not to smoke the cannabis.
Make an appointment to see the doctor to be timed when you complete the course of antibiotics.
His dentist told him the infection was gone- how do you know it will return? Do you just mean the same infection can happen again because of the structure of the teeth?
It was a gum infection too, not a tooth infection. Not sure if that's relevant.
I was just wondering if its really necessary to take antibiotics every time I get an abscess? I got an abscess last Saturday and on Monday my breast surgeon drained it and put me on antibiotics for 10 days. And now I have another abscess that appeared while on the antibiotics. I'm going back tomorrow to see the surgeon and know when she sees the other abscess she's gonna put me on antibiotics again. Just wondering if this is the protocol for everyone?
Antibiotics often work quickly but also can create the conditions for a repeat of an infection and chronic problems because they also kill off the beneficial organisms that protect us from disease. This might have happened in your case. Other times it can take more than one treatment to cure an infection, and anther consideration is that antibiotics don't treat whatever caused this to occur in the first place, they just kill off fungus or bacteria.
Can hemorrhoids kill you? I have one and it's causing me to bleed a lot from my rectum. But it stops after a few minutes. But every time I take a dump it makes it bleed again!
t think the other one was working....no kidding. My question is do you think this antibiotic will kill the infection and when will the swelling go down. The appointment to have my tooth removed isn't until the 10th of april. I've never had an infection in my mouth before so it's got me really worried. My tooth did stop hurting mostly though since my cheek swelled up, not sure why, is that good?
Thanks, and any advice will be appreciated.
When I called about the appointment, they were already talking about the possibility of being referred to an endodontist for a potential root canal. Is this my only option? Can I not just kill off the infection with antibiotics? I broke the bank on the crown (no dental insurance), and I simply cannot afford another expensive procedure. If that's the only option to keep the tooth, then I may have to opt for extracting it (and keeping my $1100 crown of course).
As Margot said, it may be a cyst or abscess. I don't know where you live, or what diseases are present in your area, but if it is a cyst or abscess, then it isn't contagious. But do be careful to wash your hands with hot water and soap after handling it ir bathing the wound, etc, as sometimes infections like this can cause stomach upsets, if the bacteria are transferred to your mouth or food etc.
At one month, he is really young and tough in his little way...yet also very vulnerable.
Hi, is she an indoor/outdoor cat or does she live with more than one cat? If she does, than there's a good chance that this is an abscess(infection from a cat bite). The abscess might not heal on its own, and will probably need a vet to take care of it and put her on antibiotics.
Let us know how it goes!!
Never the less you stated that when you had your abscess drained in the hospital that they took a sample of the pus to the lab for tests and they came back with nothing. My question to you is, were you on any type of antibiotics before you had your abscess drained and a sample taken for analysis? If you were then you are most likely going to get a negative bacteria test because the antibiotics will kill all the bacteria that they need to grow.
Can a dog get an abcess from a snake bite to his head.? Swelling,sore draining today. We have massage a drained it three times today. Dog seems to feel good. Hasn't stopped eating.
