[|Human|] Hi. A broken tooth which got infected. My whole tooth broke away apart from a tiny piece left. you coudnt really see it. the area where the tooth broke away got infected and spread upwards in my face. it spread to my gum then up into my cheek and under my eye resulting in alot of swelling in my face, a bulge formed in my cheek. today the dentist had to dig to find the root and pull it out. im taking augmentin. i still have a bulge in my cheek which i think is puss?? will the augmentin get rid of this???
[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The pain and swelling is due to the periapical infection of the broken tooth. The medication can relieve the swelling to certain extent. For permanent relief, tooth has to be extracted, or root canal treated depending on severity of infection involved. Please do visit your dentist and get the treatment done as soon as possible. Rinse your mouth using warm saline and chlorhexidine mouth rinse. Hope this helps.
