Hello,
I have had an ulcer on my wisdom tooth gum that has grown over the tooth and is causing me extreme discomfort. My dentist prescribed my Doxycycline 100mg and Percocet 5/325 to combat the pain. It has been over a week now and the problem has not been alleviated. I feel awkward asking my doctor for a slightly stronger pain medication considering the taboo surrounding a question such as that. I don't feel awkward asking for additional antibiotics. I have to cope until I can afford the wisdom extraction procedure/gum laser procedure. Anyways, getting back to the pain management or this...say i did ask my dentist and she agreed, would the pharmacy flag me for having multiple prescriptions of this drug? Or does it not matter since it would be a higher dose. I'm an anxious person so this worries me. I'm lost and uncomfortable about all this.
