I'm on an antibiotic course for a tooth cavity issue, and due to the lockdown, the dentists can't do any root canal procedures. They've given me Augmentin 625 Duo, Ultracet, and Pan D to take for the meantime. But now, after 24 hours, I'm starting to feel feverish. Could any of these medications be causing the fever?

View allMy gums have been bleeding off and on but there's no pain while eating. The dentist says I have bone loss and need 3 scaling sessions plus laser flap surgery in 2 sittings soon. They mentioned bone loss like this usually happens with BP or neuro meds but I don't have diabetes or high BP. Does this treatment plan make sense or should I get another opinion? Also I'm moving to the US next month should I wait to get this done there or do it now in Bangalore? I'm 28 and otherwise healthy.
It's wise to get a second opinion on your treatment plan for gum disease, especially since you're otherwise healthy and don't have the typical risk factors mentioned. While laser flap surgery and scaling are common treatments for periodontitis, a second opinion from another dentist or periodontist can help confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan. Deciding whether to have the treatment now in India or wait until you move to the US requires considering your specific situation, including cost, insurance coverage in the US, and the potential for faster recovery in certain climates, according to some sources.

My tooth number 47 has grade 3 mobility is it possible to save it with surgery and bone grafts or is it too far gone? What are my options here?
Grade 3 mobility often indicates severe damage. Bone grafting and splinting may help, but extraction is likely if the supporting bone is too compromised.

Can gum tone powder actually help with receding gums and bring them back to normal I'm curious how to apply it correctly should it go directly on the gums or the exposed tooth roots Also looking for any natural remedies that might work without needing surgery
Gum tone powder has no proven efficacy;focus on brushing/flossing and consult a periodontist for gum grafts if recession worsens.
