My 'health regime' is getting more and more complicated. I was managing OK with swallowing a few pills just after I wake, and before I go to sleep. And then I added into that the whole sinus saline snorting thing [it is helping, I was aware of that over Christmas when I went to Manchester without my kit]
But then my dentist noticed problems with a gum infection around one molar.*
Now I have to rinse&spit with another saline solution three times a day, and take a large antibiotic tablet ['swallow a glass of water each time, and do not drink any alcohol until at least two days after you've finished the course' said the Pharmacist 'otherwise you will have a very upset stomach']
I am diligently following all these instructions. If these extra things do not clear up the infection, it appears there may be some root canal work necessary...
*I have not had any toothache, for which I am extremely grateful. He just spotted the problem at my routine checkup on Wednesday.
I'm glad you are not experiencing any toothaches and hope the antibiotics work.

DeleteTeeth and gums grrr! It's good you are in no pain. Also good that the dentist noticed the infection. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteHe's genuinely the best dentist I have ever had
DeleteHorrid time for you. I hope it all clears up quickly.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it will
DeleteTooth problems are so frustrating. I have something starting with my one tooth but am trying to wait and get through the second cataract surgery this coming week before I move on to that issue. Hope yours resolves quickly and without having to do the root canal.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you with your eye treatments. Hoping all goes smoothly with op #2 👀
DeleteThank you!

DeleteI think I knocked a bit off my very back bottom right tooth last night when I was brushing. It will be a very big job if it needs refilled-ouch! Hope your antibiotics work well and no more infection is left. Catriona
ReplyDeleteOuch. Hope it isn't too costly
DeleteFortunately my dental appointment went well and no work was needed, but I have a Hygenist visit in April. At least your Dentist noticed a problem and you don't have toothache, but hope you don't have to have a root canal. Xx
ReplyDeleteGlad your visit went well. Hoping my next appointment goes OK too!🦷🪥🦷
