Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. As per your history, it seems to me that you are having acute pericoronitis. You need to take antibiotics like tablet Nigox OZ (Ofloxacin and Ornidazole) twice a day for five days. Tablet Lyser D (Diclofenac 50 mg plus Serratiopeptidase 10 mg) twice daily. Before taking medication, if you can write to me about your medical or drug history. So that it can be safe.
