Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I am very glad to see that you are so conscious regarding your oral health. Since you are diabetic, the first step is to control your blood glucose well within the normal ranges. As a diabetic patient, you are more susceptible to plaque formation and periodontal pockets, which can serve as breeding grounds for bacteria.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. Plain Amoxicillin is not as effective as the Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid combination, as it works on a broader spectrum of bacteria. Also, in case of any swelling, please switch to a painkiller with serratiopeptidase in it, which will help you get rid of the swelling and inflammation better than any other painkiller. Avoid any hot food and water as it will exacerbate your condition and lead to the spread of infection.
