Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Liwen
If a patient develops inflammation of the wisdom tooth, antibiotics such as metronidazole or dexamethasone can be used to alleviate symptoms. However, this approach is only suitable for severe cases of wisdom tooth inflammation that lead to space infection and systemic infection symptoms. It must be conducted under the guidance of a doctor to prevent improper medication use, which could cause adverse effects on the body.
