[|Human|] I have facial swelling on the right side of my face and sore gums and tooth that is bugging me. The swelling and pain are unbearable. I tried locating an endonditis and have an appointment tomorrow. They said that they couldnt do anything until the swelling goes down. I am taking antibiotics and tylenol but I dont know what else I can do for the swelling and pain. Can you help?
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... As per your complaint and presentation of symptoms it seems that you are suffering from DENTAL ABSCESS which has occurred due to deeply infected tooth and when the infection progresses from the tooth via root canals to the area below root tips there is pus formation and formation of dental abscess. At times the pus perforates the bone and get accumulated in the soft tissues leading to swelling and pain. You should take higher antibiotics like AUGMENTING 625 mg [Amoxicillin 500 mg + Clavulanic acid 125 mg] thrice a day and in place of Tylenol you should take a higher painkiller that can control severe pain like TRAMADOL 50 mg thrice a day. Do cold compress over the swelling. As some swelling and pain improves you should consult back your endodontist who can perform Root Canal Treatment in which a hole will be made in the tooth and an escape way will be created for pus Chat Doctor.
