Oh my God tooth infection not getting better by antibiotics? I am suffering!

19. Anytime you have an injured body part, getting that body part above your heart

minimizes the throbbing that the added pressure of being below your heart adds.

c. diff isn't a certainty with clindamycin, but it is one of the main culprits which cause it. I don't know what impact stopping it might have on the possibility of c. diff. But antibiotics aren't instant fixes - so now that you're on it, you should at least check in with your doc before stopping it. They may have an emergency line you could call and check. If not - by Monday when you're likely to be able to reach the dentist you'll know whether it kicked in or not.

I had a dentist who was so bad she touched 4 teeth and destroyed 5. The 5th was adjacent an area where her rough techniques caused a massive infection - requiring a root canal to fix. (I only visited her a couple of times, but each time I literally came away bruised - and with teeth worse off than when she started.) As to the infection, I was miserable - and I don't recall if the antibiotics were able to help the infection before I had a root canal done on it or not.

Good luck!
