Hey Everybody! 

So I went to the dentist today and had Part 1 of my Root Canal. It was severely infected 4 roots and its tooth B14. I did great with the novicane, I’m getting savy with the teeth! I’m still on the antibiotics for another week to clear up the Face pain and puffines. I did develop a bad cough and cold and sore throat. I can’t stop coughing and it makes my head hurt.  I used a tussin cough med that I had in the house without thinking. After 20 min I was a mess. OMG the side effects were scary. What kind of cough medicine is good with citalopram?

      Thank you if you remember anything else let me know. When it rains it pours. I’m just in a little blip as it’s called. 

      Thanks!

    Hi,

    Since you just had a quite difficult procedure for dental infection, I think could be more wise to be checked by your doctor. This is in case it is not just a bad cold, but a secondary infection due to the dental procedure you just had, and so extra care is needed.

    Best regards and take care.

      Kostas,

      I got the cough and cold 2 days before the dentist. I got it from the AC at my job it was freezing in here. Now I open my window to let the warm air in. Thanks for checking in on me. Much appreciated. The people on here are great.

    I hope you’re doing okay Will. You will get past this. Im at the dentist tomorrow, I’m in so much pain in my jaw and right up into my eye socket, I know they’re going to drill my tooth out and then they’re going to asses the tooth and they’ll decide if it can be filled or if I need root canal surgery doing. I’m just not sure if it’s infected or not as I’ve never had such a throbbing pain over such a large area. I really hope that the numbing injection doesn’t react with my citalopram though, I’m more afraid of that than the pain I’ll be in.x

      Gemma, 

      Tell the dentist to give you the least amount of epenedrine that he can. I was ok with it. Good luck!
