My 4 year old is at the end of week 1 of a 2-week course of amoxicillin and his teeth are becoming stained brown. Does anybody know if this is reversible once he finishes treatment? I am taking him to dentist next week anyway for a check, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do in the meantime or if anybody can tell me once he stops taking the antibiotic his teeth will return to normal? He has very good oral hygiene generally so it must be the antibiotic causing the stains.

I think this is superficial discolouration and will reverse with time, or can be treated with dental solutions to remove discolouration. Check with a registered Pharmacist who should be able to give you more specific info while you're waiting for the dental appointment.

    • If you are looking for a trustworthy professional, I highly recommend Niko. He has consistently delivered quality work. No job is too small, and he is always accommodating. He has helped me out on a number of occasions, often at short notice when unexpected issues arose. His number is 07818 607583. 
    • Well, they do turn them away from the A&E route at Kings and rightly so they employ GPs and if after triaging you’re determined to have a GP type problem you are sent to see one of the GPs on site or close to the site. 
    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
