Hello Sir,
If you've been prescribed a 5-day antibiotic course for pain and the X-ray shows no abnormalities, it's generally advisable to follow your dentist's recommendation and complete the antibiotic treatment first.
Antibiotics can help reduce inflammation and control infection, providing relief from pain associated with the tooth.
During the antibiotic course, monitor your symptoms closely. If the pain persists or worsens despite completing the antibiotic treatment, or if you experience any swelling, fever, or other concerning symptoms, it's important to follow up with your dentist promptly.
At that point, your dentist can reassess the situation and determine if further treatment, such as re-RCT, is necessary.It's essential to communicate any changes in symptoms or concerns with your dentist throughout the process to ensure appropriate and timely management of your dental health.
