I recently had swelling on the left side of my face and I looked like a chipmunk.
It came on suddenly after having pain in my tooth.
I tried taking garlic capsules and salt rinses but then noticed the swelling.
I went to the dentist and he cleaned out the tooth and gave me Amoxicillin 800 mg. twice a day.
I took 5 doses and had an allergic reaction with redness on the left side of my face.
I called the dentist and he told me to stop taking the antibiotic and prescribed Clindamycin 300 mg. 3 times a day. after taking 3 doses my stomach hurt so bad I had to stop taking them.
I did some research and found out that I could take garlic capsules which are a natural antibiotic 4 times a day.
and now the swelling is almost completely gone after a week.
I also read that grapefruit oil is good for your gums because it is also a natural antibiotic or eating grapefruit which I cannot seem to wrap my head around because I don't like the taste of it. I guess I could learn to like it until my gums are healthy again. Hope this helps.
Please leave comments. Thank you. Christy
