What GJ said.

Yes Joe!! thats who i was after - he's a Sir, that'll do i guess but he's saved my bliddy holiday so i want him made a saint haha

Well Alexander Fleming discovered it...I don't think he invented it cos its a naturally occuring substance.

Glad you're feeling better and can go on holiday feeling great again and yes he should be sainted!

I don't think a lot of people realise penicillin and anti-biotics are just separate groups.

If you can't take penicillin you can transfer to the antibiotic group - as I said above the two groups are similar - as in if you can't take one there is help with the other group!

he used to need alot of anti-biotics when he had a tooth abcess (which he had for 10 years )

OMG why didn't he just get it taken out? the tooth i mean? My BF suffered with an abscess for months on and off and the last time he just told the dentist to take it out, he couldn't handle it anymore!

My doc used to sit behind me in school - his late Dad was one of the world's best heart surgeons too - anyhow, he's a pharmacist/now 20 yrs GP and I'm sure this will explain it to his liking more than my explanation -

cos he had a TERRIBLE dentist phobia, he would rather put up with the pain and illness (made him quite ill) than go to a dentist.

i eventually got him sorted out though about 2 years after we met...he had two abcesses removed and 5 teeth, under a general. by that point though it was so bad he'd have sudden spasms of agonising pain that would last for about 2 hours at a time. so think he knew he had to face his fear. first dentist we saw was a twat...which made OH worse for a while. then we went to a town 20 miles away and got a lovely one there . though he is still scared to go

OMG he musty have been in agony - I wish he could have seen my dentist - he's wonderful, I have a video of me on the site recommending him.

My Dentist took a tooth out and the adbess was there, stuck on the end of it, Ihe showed ot to me...I don't think they are meant to take them out until the abcess has cleared though...

the dentist we have now is great (with lovely eyes ) it's the whole 'going to the dentist' thing that still worries my OH. he will go though...as long as i do lol!.
he was in bad pain yes, he's definately better since he had it removed! he was quite sickly before, and pain was getting so bad he had to quit a driving job he had as the bouts of pain were so sudden and often...dangerous to drive.

he did look like Alien when he came out of hospital after having all those teeth out though gums were covered in stitches

i dunno, i know it can be risky as can burst, if the pus gets into blood stream you can be in trouble. they reduced his with a strong course of anti-biotics for 2 weeks before the op. but was still pretty big. had to cut into his gums and take 3 teeth out to reach it (they needed to come out anyway really..along with another 2)

it was caused by a tiny chip of bone from his cheek from when he was bottled at a rock concert years ago

My dentist is g a y but so lovely and professional, he won't put up with any nonsense and always has the latest stuff. I am private btw but he's like this anyway! i would travel miles to see him, he can't ever retire!
Thank goodness he saw the light - nothing much worse than toothache! My hubby had a wisdom tooth that they couldn't remove in Turkey (where he was born/brought up 28 yrs ago) however, when he was 23 I took him straight to the dentist here and told them he was supposed to just inject painkillers daily until the pain went away! Fgs! He went to the hospital and had his impacted wisdom teeth taken out and hasn't even had a filing in 52 yrs!
