Augmentin 625 (amoxicillin with clavulanic acid) and Dolo 650 (paracetamol) are generally considered safe during pregnancy when taken under a doctor’s advice. Paracetamol is commonly used for pain relief during pregnancy, while Augmentin may be prescribed to treat bacterial dental infections. However, taking any antibiotic for a prolonged period, such as one month, should be reviewed by your dentist or doctor to confirm whether it is still necessary and appropriate. Since your toothache is due to tooth decay and infection, these medicines may provide only temporary relief and will not treat the underlying cause. You may need dental treatment, such as a root canal or tooth extraction, depending on the severity of the decay. Necessary dental procedures can generally be performed safely during pregnancy, but the timing and approach should be decided by your dentist and obstetrician. Please consult your dentist soon to assess the tooth and prevent complications from an untreated infection.
