Ive been bit

Boy does it itch too, I can see most of the day I will have my boots off! Either that or its a reaction to the antibiotics im on, says can give you hives, arnt hives meant to be itchy? Not going to google them as if they are horrible it will make me feel worse. Tooth still hurting, not long til the hour of hell now. Not sure I will be able to keep my mouth open for an hour. Actually as he was checking my teeth he was reading out the ones that are missing. I have a few teeth missing 8's are gone and some 6's think he said a 4 too, this is due to the fact that apparently I have a small mouth so all my teeth didnt fit into it. Had a brace as I was growing up, that was fun!

Oh well, best take the a/b's then get ready for work, soon be friday..whoo hooo

Oh yes, hives can be very itchy. Haven't had them since I was a child, but I can remember. Calamine lotion or a paste of baking soda and water may help.

Yes, very itchy, a little like nettle stings. As OC said, calamine or even antihistamine cream should help.

You should note what antibiotic you are taking and tell any doctor in the future who prescribes an antibiotic for you, that you are allergic to this one. There are a great many antibiotics available, so a doctor can prescribe a different antibiotic the next time. Allergies can kill you especially if you are weakened and sick from other causes. I wonder if your dentist has been recommended to you be a trusted source. Usually an endodontist does a root canal treatment, not one's regular dentist. You'll probably be given more antibiotics afterwards so beware and have a discussion about antibiotics before you accept them.

I don't mean to be a pest, but this has been on my mind. You've mentioned in the past a doctor that you've see that you seemed to get along with. I think you might call him and let him know about the reaction you've had to the antibiotic the dentist gave you. See what he says about it.

Yeah, I'm with anonymous on this nic, I'm allergic to penicillin, brings me up in a rash, so my dentist prescribes something else if ever I need any. Good luck anyway, hope it all goes ok.

Thanks, all..

anon the itching has some what calmed down now, so possibly it was a mild reaction. As for the dentist, im not sure if he is an endodontist, but would imagine that he wouldnt be doing it if he wasnt allowed.

Thanks for your concern though, if the itching gets worse I will certainly call my doctor, but it has calmed down a lot, so could have been a bite of some sort. Oh and anon, how about a name, I do like to know so I know to thank for your concern
