Discussion: I'm using antibiotics
Discussion: I'm using antibiotics
I began a regimen of taking the following antibiotics yesterday in an effort to get rid of this bb problem: metronidazole and clindamycin, according to the following site: http://www.periodontaldiseasetreatmentguide.com/
I don't believe that I have periodontal disease but upon researching the aforementioned antibiotics closer, it seems they may have some effect on bacteria in other parts of the body (stomach, etc.).
Before starting the regimen, I did a bit of research on the internet about the efficacy of taking antibiotics to fight bad breath, and I mostly just found articles/opinions saying that it doesn't work, may help bb for a few days, then may make the bb worse, and have other detrimental effects on the body (candidia overgrowth, etc.). On the other hand, antibiotics are prescribed to millions every day for all kinds of ailments with I assume favorable results. Plus the regimen calls for taking the antibiotics 3 times per day for 8 days, which is fairly typical, so I'm not too worried about negative effects. Otherwise, desperate times call for desperate measures.
With all that said, I'd be curious to hear any comments, questions, criticisms, or opinions on this topic from members of this fine forum. Last, I'll keep ya all posted on my experience doing this. Hope everybody's doing okay and hanging in there.

So dude, don't take antibiotics. If you plan to do so, eat lots and lots of yogurt after that. Then it begs the question, why don't you just eat lots and lots of yogurt.

Just taking antibiotics in the hope they'll kill off some species of oral bacteria is really no different to using chlorhexidine or other powerful antibacterial, so it isnt worth the risks to the rest of your body, unless you are willing to take that risk in the hope that some chronic bacterial problem somewhere might be eradicated in the process, afterall they are handed out like sweets by doctors for minor problems.
Antibiotics are sometimes given as part of the treatment for gum diseases.
