I had actinomycosis two years back and took Mox 500x 3 or 500x6 per day as per instructions of doctor for about ten months. I am doing physical exercises as suggested by the doctor regularly. Now I want to know what precautions I should take to prevent recurrence of actinomycosis in future.

Preventive measure for actinomycosis - 1. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and take care to remove dental plaque as much as possible, in order to reduce the risk of infection around teeth. 2. Minimize the risk of getting bitten, which can be a source of transmitting the Actinomyces bacteria. If you do get a human bite, wash the wound, apply antibiotic ointment, and seek medical care. 3. Minimize oral contact with others, especially with strangers and known carriers.
