[|Human|] i just had a root canal on a lower right molar on monday and now my gum/ cheek is swollen. Not sure if its my salivary gland or re infection. Ive taken emycin, clindamycin and i am now on zithromax. Getting frustrated with my dentist because they dont seem to know what it may be??
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, the pain in the gums and swelling over the cheek could be because of tooth infection leading to pus formation and spreading into tissue spaces. Take some radiographs like IOP AR and OPG to rule out pathologies in the adjacent teeth and any defect in the root canal treated teeth. The antibiotics what you are taking is sufficient to bring down the infection...do saline gargling. Consult an oral physician for opinion and needful. I hope my answer will help you take care.
