clindamycin in dental infections

I also got a bad reaction to Clindamycin a feeling of big lump in throat, sore throat and severe heartburn. In spite of the fact that I drank at least 10ounces of water with each pill. My question is since I'm allergic to penicillin. What antibiotic is effective for teeth and gum infections???? Thank you.

) On the other hand, would I endanger my health by taking the Clindamycin after so many other recent antibiotic courses (including 16 days of Clindamycin in September)?

To prevent bacterial endocarditis or joint infection, the dose is 600 milligrams (4 tablets of 150 milligrams each). It should be taken 30 to 60 minutes before a dental treatment likely to cause bleeding. Patients generally tolerate the one-dose regimen well. For oral infections or abscesses, the dose is 150 milligrams to 300 milligrams every 6 to 8 hours. It should be taken for at least 5 to 7 days. I am curious you say you have had cirrhosis of the liver since you were born?

They also prescribe Cipro before dental work for us that are decompensated and are prone to infections which can be very serious for us. And cause us to be hospitalized and put on IV antibiotics.

Yes, clindamycin is good for bacterial infections which is what you have and also helps with acne/pimples.

The pain is in the gum around the tooth all the way into my jaw. I have been taking clindamycin four days now. I cannot feel an absess. Could this just be a tooth infection?

It is now 5 days taking benadryl and the hives and itching have not stopped. What is in the clindamycin that I may be allergic to?

My 8 year old cat, Kupid was diagnosed with a dental abscess about a week ago and put on clindamycin 1 ml twice a day. When she started she had a pink drainage coming from her right eye and right nostril. Her eye has gotten better and her nose has slightly improved. She is still sneezing and looks terrible but she is eating on her own. This cat has failed the pre anesthesia test twice after having complications during her spay surgery so we are reluctant to put her under to pull her tooth.

Because I have an artificial joint I take 600mg of Clindamycin Prior to dental work. I han root canal done on a tooth under a permanent bridge a year ago by a General Dentist. One hour start to finish. It was infected, but I was never given any additional antibiotics. Since that time had an ongoing foul taste and odor when I used Water Flosser daily. The adjacent tooth became infected and also required a root canal. This time done by an Endadontist.

Seeing a dentist is advised, even if administration of clindamycin relieving your dental pain.

I figured I would keep that medicine and take only if it flared back up while I was waiting for dental insurance to kick in at some point. Well, still looking for a job and now it's starting back up. I'm so afraid to take it because of the fear of how long it will be before I find a job. Even if I find a job I will try to at least apply for Care Credit to help pay for the treatments even if I don't necessarily have dental insurance to cover it yet at that point.

hi and welcome.....sorry to hear abt your kitties troubles..clindamycin drops are a very good choice for dental infections...however I am concerned you've not seen improvement in 2 weeks...they are not recommended for use for more than 14 days!!! I will give you a link to this info... I think your kitty really needs to see a Vet specialist...is there a teaching Vet hospital nearby? they would have a variety of specialist to look more thoroughly into whats going on.....

My dentist uncovered the implant and did a bone graft over the top of the implant where the infection had eaten the bone away. He soaked it in clindamycin and I took clindamycin orally afterwards. Six weeks after that, I started feeling bad again. My dentist put me on another round of clindamycin coupled with metronidazole. A 3D CONE x-ray showed that there was infection behind the top of the implant. This time, I had an oral surgeon uncover the implant and clean it out.

Was wondering how long will it last. And is there any way to make it come to head. Had mini dental implants put in 3 years ago with 4 up top ,, and the gum abscess is right on top of it .

So I had a wisdom tooth extraction(32) that was complicated. The tooth had to be broken in order to remove and the nurse had to hold my jaw in place while the dentist struggled to extract the tooth. Its been 5 days already and the swelling, bruising and pain are excruciating. I just finished taking all the antibiotics the dentist prescribed and I still can't eat anything solid. How long should I give it before seeking medical help for the continuing swelling and pain?

Fluconazole does work on yeast infections as it is an antifungal. Clindamycin is different and is an antibiotic. It fights bacteria, not yeast or fungus. Clindamycin can create a situation in which you get a yeast infection. It's not used to treat a yeast infection but fluconazole is.

Hi Judy...was the dental antibiotic called Clindamycin? May wanna google "Clostridium Difficile" (C-Diff) and see if your symptoms match, then ask doc to run stool sample tests for it (three days in a row/separate samples). Good luck to you.

I recommend a teaching university in Canada specializing in maxillofacial treatment. Have you been on Clindamycin for bone infections yet? Clindamycin is also known as Cleocin. Not sure what it is called in Canada. Caution regarding Clindamycin as it can cause C-difficile. Please read up on it before acquiring a script. Again, this is strictly my opinion as I am not in the medical field.

what are some of the common dental implant problems? This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/421404'>dental implant and systemic disease</a>.

I just had first root canal #14 through dental crown. Endodonist said there was pus -- infection. I have had allergic reaction to Levaquin and AzitheraI and have had side effects diarrhea and lightheaded from Cefdinir and Cephalexin so he prescribed Cipro 500mg. Said he doesn't usually prescribe but given that it have taken Cipro 250mg in the past (or urinary tract infection with no side effects. Is Cipro as effective as other antibiotics for dental infection?

I have read that clindamycin is a commom drug prescribed to ppl before dental work to prevent endocarditis in those with heart problems, so why would they prescribe it to someone with heart problems if it is bad?? I dont take anything for my pvcs nor are they very bad. Doctor thinks they are just stress, but considering I have had them for a year and a half, Im not so sure. This being said, should I still be concerned about taking the medicine?

(Sugar impairs your immune response, dairy leads to mucous formation, and both acidify the body which is favorable to many bacterial infections) 8) Take a high quality probiotic supplement daily (there may be some probiotics in the green drink powder you select). It's unfortunate that the professional doctors and dentists that know so much about pharmacology often know so little about dietary and herbal resources.

I get hives every time I have dental work lately. Currently have Clindamycin. How many days prior should I start this and how many days after should I continue?

) I just found out at my 7 week scan that I have an vaginal infection and my doctor gave me clindamycin phosphate cream. My nurse and doctor have both assured me it is safe to take during my first trimester. Did anyone else use this during their pregnancy? Thank you!

Can i take clindamycin with my levothyroxin 75mcg . Because i have a sore throat and runny nose ?
