Antibiotics for stomatitis

Stomatitis as an inflammatory process of the oral cavity is rarely treated with antibiotics, the main task of neutralizing the pathogenic flora is performed by local antiseptics. Antibiotics for stomatitis is an extreme measure, which is indicated in cases of acute severe forms of the disease, or when stomatitis is a consequence of the underlying systemic disease of internal organs.

Of course, as an agent that can stop a bacterial infection in the mouth, ointments containing an antibiotic can be used. Especially they are effective against the coccal infection, but they are completely ineffective against viruses. Also antibiotics against stomatitis are also shown in the form of local applications, when the tablet is triturated into powder, mixed with a gel base and applied to ulcers or aphthae.

Antibiotics can become the drugs of choice for ulcerative-necrotic form of stomatitis, provoked by fusospirchets.

What antibiotics are effective in treating severe forms of stomatitis? 

• Ampiox.
• Kanamycin.
• Lincomycin.
• Penicillin.
• Cephalosporin group of antibiotics.
• Macrolides - clarithromycin, easitromycin.

Sumamed with stomatitis

Sumamed is an active antibiotic from the group of macrolides, the main active substance of which is azithromycin. Sumamed at stomatitis can be appointed as a drug that suppresses Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, anaerobes.

The drug acts on such pathogenic microorganisms: 

• Streptococcus A, B, C, G.
• Staphylococcus.
• Streptococcus pneumonia.
• Moraxella catarrhalis.
• Haemophilus influenzae.
• Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Sumamed is available in the form of suspension and tablets and can be prescribed for severe form of infectious stomatitis, when oral infection occurs as a result of the systemic inflammatory process of the body.

In the treatment of dental diseases, as well as ENT pathologies, the shape of the suspension is very convenient, in addition it is suitable primarily for young children. It should be noted that Sumamed can be prescribed to babies at the age of 5 months. The exact dosage and duration of treatment is determined by the attending physician, an approximate calculation of the intake of the suspension for children

Body weight	The volume of suspension for a single dose
5 kg	50 mg
6 kg	60 mg
7 kg	70 mg
8 kg	80 mg
9 kg	90 mg

The tablet form of the drug, as a rule, assumes reception within three days, no more. Further, the effectiveness of the drug is determined and further therapeutic tactics are selected.

Amoxiclav for stomatitis

Amoxicillin + Clavulanic acid or amoxiclav is a dosage form of amoxicillin lyophilisate in combination with clavulanic acid. The preparation is available in the form of a powder for suspension or preparation of a drip solution. This is a combined broad-spectrum antibiotic that is used against many pathogenic microorganisms that cause inflammation in tissues and organs.

The drug is active as a bactericide, as it inhibits the development and synthesis of bacterial cells. Amoxiclav acts on the following bacteria: 

• Staphylococcus aureus.
• Staphylococcus epidermidis.
• Streptococcus pyogenes.
• Streptococcus anthracis.
• Streptococcus viridans.
• Enterococcus faecalis.
• Streptococcus pneumoniae.
• Enterococcus faecalis.

• Peptostreptococcus spp.
• .Escherichia coli.
• Proteus mirabilis.
• Proteus vulgaris.
• Klebsiella spp.
• Shigella spp.
• Bordetella pertussis.
• Yersinia enterocolitica.
• Gardnerella vaginalis.
• Neisseria meningitidis.
• Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
• Moraxella catarrhalis.
• Haemophilus influenzae.
• Haemophilus ducreyi.
• Pasteurella.
• Campylobacter jejuni.

The drug is used very widely, in particular, dentistry of amokosiklav in stomatitis is most effective in severe exacerbations, when local treatment does not work.

Dosage and the course of application of the drug is established by the attending physician, as a rule, adult patients and children over 12 years of age are shown taking a tablet form 250 mg three times a day. Children under the age of 12 are prescribed syrup, drops for oral administration. The drug has a systemic effect, thereby eliminating the root cause of the disease, after the elimination of the main infectious focus, amoxiclave is not used in stomatitis.

Augmentin with stomatitis

Augmentin is a semisynthetic antibiotic from the penicillin group. Augmentin with stomatitis can be prescribed only in cases of complications, severe course of the inflammatory process caused by a common systemic infection of the body.

It should be noted that most types of stomatitis are treated with topical medications, internal reception of drugs is indicated as an extreme measure, which is indispensable.

Feature of the drug Augmentin is that it consists of two active components - amoxicillin and clavulanate. The first is an antibiotic in its pure form, which acts on a large list of pathogenic microorganisms, clavulanate helps amoxicillin suppress the production of bacterial beta-lactamase, which interferes with the action of the antibiotic. Practice shows that such a chemical composition is effective and does not require a long course of treatment, after 3 days in 90% of patients the main symptomatology subsides, that is, the acute inflammatory process stops.

Augmentin is available in the form of tablets, powder for injection, syrup, powder for suspensions. It is obvious that the most convenient form of the suspension, injections are indicated for special conditions, when stomatitis is a consequence of a serious infectious disease, rather than an independent pathology of the oral cavity. The dose and regimen of the drug is determined by the doctor depending on the age and state of health.

The drug is not prescribed for infants until 2 months, otherwise, Augmentin has established itself as an effective antibiotic that quickly suppresses the infection.

Amoxicillin with stomatitis

With stomatitis, the choice of antibiotics depends on the severity and type of inflammation.

Amoxicillin can only be prescribed as a systemic drug for an infection that develops in internal organs or systems. Thus, amoxicillin in stomatitis can rather determine not as a cure for inflammation of the oral cavity, but as a means of arresting the underlying pathological process.

Amoxicillin is a semisynthetic antibiotic from the penicillin group, the drug has a wide spectrum of action and is effective against the following pathogenic microbes: 

• Staphylococcus spp.
• Streptococcus spp.
• Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
• Neisseria meningitides.
• Escherichia coli.
• Shigella spp.
• Salmonella spp.
• Klebsiella spp.

Amoxicillin is used as a monopreparation for the treatment of severe infectious pathologies developing in the tissues of internal organs, with stomatitis being a consequence of pathology, that is, a secondary disease.

The dose of the drug is determined by the attending physician, the approximate scheme of admission is as follows: 

• The dose for adults and children from 10 years is 250-500 mg.
• acute stage of the disease - up to 1 g.
• for children aged 5 to 10 years, the dose is 250 mg.
• children from 2 to 5 years - 125 mg.
• children under 2 years of age - 20 mg / kg.
• the interval between doses is 8 hours.

It should be noted that amoxicillin, as well as other antibiotics, is ineffective in the treatment of viral diseases, including herpetic stomatitis. The drug has many side effects, so its purpose is the task of the doctor, not the patient himself.

In general, antibiotics for stomatitis and other diseases of the oral cavity - this is the so-called "heavy artillery", which the doctor uses only when local procedures - antiseptic irrigation, applique and moxibustion, do not give results within 7-10 days.
