I woke up in agony last night. AGONY! Isn't mouth pain just the worst? These antibiotics are obviously not working and the infection is eating into my bone and brain and making my eyes water. I'm off to see the VSRPD at noon where I will ask for oxytetracycline as I now remember a similar situation a few years ago after a root canal when a system of elimination was used to find the antibiotic that would clear up an infection which had taken hold. While googling for dental antibiotics last night I discovered that there is a correlation between teeth extraction and age of death. Apparently, the more teeth you've had pulled the earlier you will die. Blimey.
