[|Human|] Hi, 3 days ago I got a tooth extracted. My face was swollen as soon as I walked out if the dentist office & hasnt gone down since. I now have a red rash on my cheek, its hard & hot, & my extraction site is painful. I have already figured out that its infected, but since the office is closed for 2 days, what can I put in it to minimize the infection? I use salt water already. Is it safe to use Dr. Tichenors or clove oil? I dont want to make it worse, but I need to try something since I still have 2 days before seeing a dentist.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The symptoms which you are depicting suggest that there is an infection in the mouth which would require antibiotics.(you have not mentioned whether you are on any medicines right now). For the pain you can take Tab Ibuprofen (if you are not allergic to any medicines). Cap amoxicillin 500 mg Three times (if not allergic) and tab Metro lag 400 mg (I would advise you to call your dentist and start the medicines). Continue saline gargling. Do not apply hot bag on the cheeks to relieve pain. You can apply an ice bag intermittently. Visit your dentist or any hospital and get it reviewed as soon as possible. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
