Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My gums surrounding my third molar/ wisdom tooth (lower left jaw) seem to be swollen. I started to feel pain on it yesterday morning and gargled with Bactidol. This morning the pain seemed to intensify. I feel pain when I swallow, open my mouth, and when I gargle. Somehow I feel the pain in my throat already. I took my first Amoxicillin as advice by a dentist friend. Any advice?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is a case of pericoronitis. Do not worry take tablet Oflox oz twice daily for five days, Hexidine mouthwash do gargles with it thrice daily for one week, tablet Zerodol SP twice daily for five days. It will relieve it. I tell you Amoxicillin will not help with this problem. Get these medicines you will be relieved.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
I am from Philippines so I am not sure if the same medicines have the same names here in our country. Is tablet Oflox OZ the same as Ofloxacin? If yes, how many mg, 200 mg? For the mouth wash Hexidine, is it the same with Bactidol Hexetidine? And for tablet Zerodol SP how many mg, 100 mg? Is there a way for you to provide me a prescription?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Take tablet Ofloxacin 200 mg and Ornidazole 500 mg (Oflox-OZ) BD for five days. Tablet Acelofenac 100 mg and Paracetamol 325 mg and Serrapeptidase15 mg (Zerodol SP) BD for five days. Mouth wash you can use if you have bought Hexitidine bactidol no need to buy a new one. You will get relieved in a few days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
