Why has the abscess on my gum not gone down after a treating it with antibiotics?

---

I'm about to finish a 5 day course of antibiotics to treat an abscess on my gum. The abscess hasn't grown anymore but also it hasn't got smaller or gone completely. Should it have gone by now? I only have 2 more tablets to go. I'm due to see my dentist again in about 10 days time.
sometimes it just takes a bit for the bump to go away. If it is still there when u visit ur dentist he may give u more meds or pop it himself  (+ info)

How to get rid of an abscess in the arm pit?

---

I have a abscess in my arm pit and has gotten bigger. My mother and gf tried to pop and drain it but so far it hasn't done much leaking. Does anyone know how it was cause and whats the best way to get rid of it? I want to make going to the doctor a last resort.
I'm sorry but I think the only way to truly get rid of it is to have it lanced at your doctor's office. Here's a link that has a ton of answers about abscesses.

And if you're really strong take a look at this video on youtube showing a guy getting his underarm abscess being taken care of at the doctor's. His looks pretty big, so I wouldn't recommend you letting yours get out of control!

Does swishing with peroxide help an abscess tooth?

---

I have had an abscess tooth for 3 weeks. I can't have it pulled right now. I have been trying salt water and have been on penicillin. The infection is much better than it was, but I still have the infection. My gum line is still swollen and it continues to seep. Any other at home remedies or suggestions to relieve the swelling in my mouth and under my chin?
The dentist can drain the abscess, he doesn't necessarily have to pull the tooth.

Peroxide is good, but it's not going to help the part below the gumline.  (+ info)

How long does it take for tooth abscess antibiotics to take away the pain?

---

I'm on Cipro for a tooth abscess. I have only been taking it for a day and a half, but if possible, I would like to know when I can expect the pain and swelling to go down. I can't sleep, I can barely eat, and I can hardly function with all the painkillers that I am taking (and are barely even working anymore). :(
Most likely around day 3 you should start feeling the pain go away, I too have been on Cipro for an abcess and it has taken around that long for me to notice it going away without pain meds.  (+ info)

Can an abscess have the same symptoms as a bladder infection?

---

I have been having symptoms of bladder infection for about a week now, the doctor did an analysis of my urine and he didn't find any bacteria growth. He did a check up with me and thinks that I have an abscess. Could this be the cause of the pain and of the blood in my urine?
Abscess are very dangerous. My dad is finally recovering from abscesses all over his (internal) structure. According to his doctor, he nearly died. Stay on top of this!!

Blood in the urine can mean an E-Coli infection in your bladder. It's very painful and can make your urine look almost entirely bloody.  (+ info)

How long before my cavity turns into an abscess?

---

It is on my front tooth between the front teeth. I saw my dentist last July, and he didn't say anything about a cavity being there.

The tooth is sort of stinging a bit. Not throbbing, and you can't really see it unless you look really close. It's more on an annoying sensation.

My dental insurance doesn't kick in again until December 1st.

What are the chances it will abscess by then?
If you brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste and use ACT mouthwash 3 times a day, it should be okay until December.  (+ info)

It could be in abscess right now, only your dentist can tell. This could be dangerous, an abscess in a tooth can bring the infection directly to the heart and really give you a problem. If I were you I'd have him check it out and see if you can wait 'till dec. Don't mess around with this.  (+ info)

Why does my abscess pop and then comes back a few minutes later?

---

I have had what I what I believe to be an ongoing abscess for about 4 years now. It's a large bump on my gum and occasionally it swells and gives me a lot of pain, even a high temperature. Like now, it has popped several times when rinsing with baking soda and peroxide. Then moments later it swells again.
You need to go to a denist TODAY - if you cannot afford to go to the denist you MUST GO TO A MEDICAL clinic and ask for Antibiotics - Amoxil in Australia.

Be aware that dental abscesses can and do spread fast - to the brain - we recently had a 14 year old in my home town who died because his mother did not want to pay for a dentist.

Most doctors will at least give you the drugs to stop the infection if you promise to go to a dentist. Do NOT go from doctor to doctor for more antibiotics.  (+ info)
