Please could someone help me? My brother has had tooth pain for a few days but it has gradually worsened, his face is now swollen and he is vomiting, this may be because he feels too sick to eat and when he tries he brings the food back up. He may feel sick because he is taking strong painkillers. He also has COPD and has an emergency pack which includes Amoxicillin, after searching online he started taking the antibiotics yesterday but this is just making him feel more sick. I’m really worried as he doesn‘t have a dentist. What could he eat to try to stop the sickness? He says he wants to try the antibiotics for a few days to see if this improves the pain, swelling so that he can then stop taking the pain killers. It’s like a vicious circle, he takes the pain killers and antibiotics for the pain and swelling which makes him too nauseous to eat and not eating makes the sickness worse. What should he do? Thank you.
