    Does my tooth infection need more attention? Can I kiss with it?
    I had what I believe is a tooth infection and was put on cephilixin eight days ago. The pain in my mouth is gone, but I still have some preassure on my ear and some puffy glands. Should I be wondering or looking into something but a tooth infection, and is my girlfriend safe to kiss me?

    Your tooth wasn't infected but your gums and jaw probably were/are. Did your doctor do a culture, that drug only works on bacterial infections and you may have a viral infection since you still have swelling. You need to consult your doctor and hold off on the kissing until the doctor nails down what you have.
