[|Human|] I had braces brackets put up a week ago, and developed a canker sore the next day. however, i woke up today with my top left lip swelling, where the canker sore is. the swelling also seems to be spread to my cheek. i m a 25 year old female having her period now. could this be an allergic reaction?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. According to your explanation, it looks like you have two different issues, one is authors dermatitis and another condition is cellulitis secondary to tooth infection. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. For, tooth infection, If I am your treating doctor, I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then I would have suggested going for RCT or extraction. If it is authors ulcer you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (Anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetone 0.1% 4-5times daily after food. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
