Hi, I have a jaw bone infection, and I got Amoksicillin for treatment. Is it good medication and how long does it take to have it cured?

Hi, if you have a Jaw Bone Infection there could be some other kind of infection in the mouth too. Mouth infections can easily spread from one structure to another. I believe amoksicillin will help you , but you can apply also some disinfectants to prevent spreading of bacteria. Hydrogen solution or any oral aqueous solution for oral hygiene can be helpful. You can find them as over the counter preparations. If you don’t heal the infection in a few days, look for some other antibiotic, but generally don’t stop taking them as soon as you feel better, but take the whole course.

If you truly have a Jaw Bone Infection then you will need to tackle the issue aggressively. Jaw bone infections are not easily identified unless you have had a Volumetric CT scan or similar. Otherwise you may be looking at a deep gum infection rather than a Bone infection(per say).
However, if you do have a bone infection then antibiotics alone will not heal this condition. It will or may halt the secondary effects of the infection(pain, rash, tiredness, fever etc). However as soon as you stop the course of your prescription the infection will recur and continue on it's marry way. The reason for this is because when a bone becomes infected, there is no soft tissue for the anti-bodies to work from and thus the source of infection has no wheres to go. So it will end up siting in the bone either contained or allowed to propagate according to the immune system.
The problem with this, is that once an area of bone has been compromised , it becomes necrotic(dead). And thus damage occurs which in turn promotes the spreading of the infection into surrounding areas. The entire process ends up being rather painful and the secondary effects are usually quite prevalent. Though they do vary greatly between people.
The only course of action against such a condition is to identify the affected areas, clean and repair the cavitations with healthy bone followed by a course of very strong antibiotics to avoid a relapse. Because cells(it would seem) are quite good at holding on to damages.
Many people follow up surgery with a course of treatments to increase blood flow in the jaw. This will greatly reduce the chances of a recurring infection throughout the most sensitive post surgery stages( 4 - 6 weeks).
As you can see a Jaw Bone Infection is not something to take lightly. And so I can only hope you do not have this terrible condition after all. There are many forms of deep gum infections that can resemble jaw bone infections, however, they do not hold the same level of complications and are treatable with conventional antibiotics.
Hope this helps. |
