I think I will need one, but this infection is a monster, and tomorrow morning won't be a minute too soon. I bought an over the counter antibiotic ointment, and I'm putting it around the tooth, just in the remote chance that it might help. I had some good antibiotics stashed away, but I took pity on a friend, with the agreement they would be replaced, which they have not. So, I suffer, and my face swells up.
