Swallow the pills whole; do not chew them. If swelling and pain are severe and pus is about to form, this formula may still be taken, but the dose should be slightly reduced; even after pus has formed, if the surrounding tissue remains firm, it may still be taken until the firm swelling is completely resolved.
