I went to the dentist and he said I have an absceeed tooth that needs a root canal. He prescribed amoxicillan and
metronidazole as well as tylenol#3. I am taking these as prescribed, yet am still in agonizing pain. The pain seems to subside for maybe 5 minutes, but then comes back in waves, that shoot pain up to my ear and all through my cheek. I have a root canal scheduled for a month from now, since the infection apparently needs to lessen before they can fix the tooth.
