Infection after extraction
Hi, I suspect that I have infection in the gum where my tooth was extracted 4 days ago. I am in pain and where Nurofen used to help, it now does nothing, not only drinking 2 x 200mg tabs. I also feel feverish. How can I clear this?

NUROFEN will not clear the infection. You need to place a medicament in the extraction site. see your dentist. A post extraction infection is quite common and is treated easily
