stop antibiotics?

[Scared_707]

I have a tooth abcess and my dental appointment is on the jan 3rd i have been on antibioticd for at least 7 days. Apperently before a tooth surgery u need to clear the infection first. Well two days ago i developed a sore throat prolly from a sick fam member. My qustion is this.... Will the antibiotics make my throat worse? I keep readin to not get antis for a sore throat

you will be ok i have had more then one abcess just take all the antibiotics and you will be good but you do need to tell the dr. about it to see if he want to put you on something that might not work well the dentist meds good luck and don't let the do a rout conewel you spend all that money and they can't save the tooth i have had friends that spent 5,000 dollars on one and they ended up having it pulled anyways about 6 months to a year later

call the dentist and let him/her know you have a sore throat.  the antibiotics will not make it worse, may even make it better.  I just had my abscessed wisdom tooth pulled 2 weeks ago and was in the middle of taking the antibiotics, hadnt finished them yet.  he may give you another rx for them or you may have to see your general practitioner.  But definitely call them and give them a heads up!
