Well, the dentist said she would be concerned if I didn't have the fistula, that the bacteria would have nowhere to go and would be sitting up there, possibly causing a systemic response. She prescribed me Flagyl as she said it should settle down with that. She looked at the xrays again and they looked fine.

However; the bump hasn't refilled back up since Monday night(fingers crossed) and I don't plan on taking the Flagyl. I have been having massive stomach pain and black stool that I just came back from the Dr's for and she said it could have been due to the clindamycin, that I took my last does of last Thursday. She said to let my dentist know that I cannot take anymore antibiotics at this time.

Should the bump (fistula) come back, I will have to get another opinion with an oral surgeon. I do not like the idea of taking all of these antibiotics....
