Hi Bryanna and all,
My tooth (#14) was infected in earlier May and had root canals done between May 29 and June 8, 2013. Infection was very bad and spread all the way to sinus. The dentist put me on Pennicillin first (got bad allergy reaction) and then Clindamycin (had diarrhea). I was off from any antibiotics for nine days before the extraction.
The tooth was extracted by an oral surgeon on Tuesday morning (July 2). He said the site doesn’t look like infected (at least not serious). I was OK on Tuesday and most time of Wednesday. But this morning (July 4) I started feeling pain around the extraction area. The surgeon did put me on 5 days Z-pack. I started taking Arnica last night but the pain is getting more frequent. Is this normal or does it indicate an infection? Anything I should do now?

I am very concerned now. I don’t have a good tolerance to antibiotics. I’ve lost 15 pounds in a month due to the tooth infection.

Thanks a lot for your inputs
