What should a patient do if they are experiencing pain and swelling around their lower back teeth after taking Augmentin 625 and Meftal Spas this morning?
Antibiotics like Augmentin 625 (amoxicillin/clavulanate) typically take 24 to 48 hours to start visibly reducing swelling. Please continue taking your prescribed doses, including Meftal Spas (mefenamic acid/dicyclomine) for pain, exactly as directed. In the meantime, gently rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can help soothe the area. Because swelling around your back teeth can indicate a localized dental infection, it is very important to contact your dentist promptly for an evaluation to ensure the infection is resolving safely.
