Hi All,
I started Humira (loading dose) 13 days ago and I am due to get my second shots tomorrow morning.
Last Wednesday, the 3rd April, I had to get a tooth removed on the lower jaw. The tooth was cracked right down to the root and had to come out. The extraction was pretty brutal and the dentist said there is an infection that is still present today, even after 5 days of Amoxicillin antibiotics. I now have a dry socket http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_osteitis in the tooth and its extremely sore.
To make maters worse I am due to go on holiday on Thursday for 10 days, a trip I have planned for 8 months since my surgery last summer and the timing has been crap.
Can anyone recommend anything to help the infection in the tooth heal whilst I am on Humira? Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Many Thanks
Luke
