Ok,Heres my problem
I have a badly decayed wisdom tooth,the lower left bottom one.It has huge cavity thats very deep.I have been in pain for 6 months,cuz I do not have dental insurance.Now I finnally have the money for an extraction.The problem is im allergic to all the antibiotics they have given me so far.And I do not know what else there is to take.If I just go get it removed without the antibiotic will the infection spread?I have had a fever this week and feeling sick for a long time,with various problems.The tooth is not abscessed it just has a nasty deep cavity thats infected.
The oral surgeon's office is closed till Tuesday,and im really scared the general anesthsia is going to make me sick.....

ADVICE ANYONE?

Many times Cleocin is a good antibiotic in allergic individuals. It may not be necessary however if the tooth is not abcessed either pulpally or periodontally, if it is only decayed antibiotics are not necessarly indicated
