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

20. Dentists like to use it for teeth.

It's generally appropriate as to reach - and less likely to cause an allergic reaction than penicillin (another drug with equivalent reach).

Since it's been a long while since I had a reaction to penicillin (5 decades), I opted for penicillin after I had a rod implanted in my leg and needed to be pre-treated for dental visits for a year. Fortunately, it had been long enough that my body didn't react to it. But I would have skipped a few dental visits if I had to in order to avoid taking clindamycin again. And s. boulardii really is a miracle drug for me. I'm actually not sure whether it was the complex vancomycin dosing - or the s boulardii - which finally chased it into remission. I started the s. boulardii after research about how to get rid of intransigent c. diff, and after the infectious disease doc I was seeing approved it. It certainly works very quickly to put it back into remission now (without vancomycin) as long as I start it as soon as I notice the first symptoms. For the first couple of years I would start the s. boulardii and call the doc to order a test. Now I just start the probiotic.
