I have taken Penicillin VK for tooth infection. This medication works very effectively for the infection. I have seen many comments on this drug with people saying they are still in pain. Pen VK does not treat the pain of the tooth infection it just takes care of the infection. I would be better to ask your dentist or doctor for a pain medication to take with the Pen VK. The only time Pen VK gives pain relief is when the infection is gone.

I was prescribed this medication after an attempted root canal,which the doctor broke my tooth,and I ended up getting surgery from another doctor. It was for infection,and worked good in that respect. It was not for pain.

I took this because of an infected tooth that was to be extracted. I am prone to sinus problems, but this made my sinus flare up really bad. I coughed a lot with lots of mucus, my face also became very puffy.The tooth still aches to some degree. As I was coughing so much and unable to sleep, I quit taking it. Within a few hours the cough is almost gone along with mucus. Took it for 9 days--tooth is still very tender and unable to be extracted until infection is cleared. It does taste awful--I always had a small of something sweet to make the taste go away. I will not take this stuff again!
