Is it okay to take amoxicillin capsules for swollen and painful gums?

Generally, amoxicillin capsules should not be taken for swollen and painful gums. If the gums are red and swollen, it indicates gum inflammation, and oral antibiotics such as cephalosporins or metronidazole may be used. If gum swelling occurs, patients are advised to visit the dental department of a正规 hospital for examination. First, supragingival calculus should be removed using an ultrasonic scaler, followed by subgingival calculus removal with a curette, then the gums should be thoroughly cleaned.
