[|Human|] I had a tooth infection, went to the dentist, abscess started growing and they gave me penicillin. Abscess started growing alot and about the size of a ping pong ball on my lower left jaw. I have been on penicillin one day, and today on the second day the size is about the same but slight increase further down from the jaw line. slight swelling. Should I be worried? Keep taking antibiotics? Go to the ER? On antibiotics and ibuprofen for pain.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling could be because of the tooth infection or gum infection. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph of that tooth to rule out infection. If there is infection then get the tooth treated with RCT or extraction. If there is gum infection then get the teeth cleaned.Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics. Only penicillin will not be that much effective. You have to take metronidazole 400 mg TID for 3-5days(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care.
