Mam visiting a nearby dentist or consulting online would be better for any antibiotic prescription as it need a complete history n evaluation of situation..
And u can not ignore dental treatment by taking meds only... If u r having pain u have to get the necessary treatment done..
Health Tips
do not give hot compress to the affected area..
