Penicillin Vk For Sinus Infection?

Updated

My dentist has prescribed this following a root canal. 500 MG QID. I think that I may have a sinus infection. Will this help or do I need to see my regular dr. for a different antibiotic?

Hello, Katie! How are you?

No, it should help. It is classified by the FDA as a broad spectrum antibiotic, so it can treat various types of infections. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

However, if your symptoms don't go away, after you finish your course of treatment with it, then you should consult your doctor, as it may not be the right antibiotic to help you.

Is there anything else I can help with?
