Pain is coming from either tooth. Sounds to me that you may be unable to pay to keep the teeth so I would have them removed and solve the problem. Cipro is no good for oral infections anyway. Amoxicillin or Clindamycin are the best.
See a dentist or oral surgeon ASAP to have the tooth removed before the infection becomes a serious medical problem.
You have an emergency situation and as such I would recommend you contact a dentist who takes walk ins and or emergencies. Secondarily I would recommend a hospital since all the can do generally is give you more antibiotics and pain meds to help you limp along. You need definitive treatment. Dental infections are basically head and neck infections. There is nothing in you head and neck that isn't important to preserving your life. Good luck.
You need an oral surgeon, check local hospitals for oral surgery department. Don't put your life in danger.
First of all, loritab and percacet are Highly addictive. Check with your physician and dentist as taking these meds along with anti-depressants could be life threatening. There are many clinics that will take care of you but you need to check with your local dental society. Do not neglect your treatment as taking care it will alleviate the symptoms...Get off the addictive drugs,except the anitbiotic.
get both teeth out , get a referral from your dentist for an Oral Surgeon and get them both out , may also need different antibiotic if Cipro is not working .
