Respected doctor, as told earlier about my tooth decay. I took some medication from you tube which were ampoxin 500 1 1, flora bc 1 1 and ibuprofen 1 1. I took medicines for 1 1/2 days but I had some type of side effects (like dizziness) may be due to ampoxin. So I switched to amoxicillin 500 1 1. On taking amoxicillin for 3 days I got complete relief from pain and swelling. I was able to chew my food now. This all happened before years suggestions. I am 50 years old and a smoker. The other medicines like t pan and becosules I didn't took. So can I take these medicines now without amoxicillin. Surely I will have to visit my local dentist who has hygienically sanitize his clinic. I might have to get my tooth extracted because my income isn't much to afford rct. Even may not have time for rct after lockdown. I may consult you online. I don't know how to send pictures of my tooth. Sorry for that lengthy question. Pls suggest.
