[|Human|] Hello I recently went to the dentist to get a few cavities filled. After the visit i noticed that the pain in my one tooth was increasing. Yesterday I phoned my dentist at his residence and he prescribed me metronidazole 3x a day. I also have been taking Tylenol 3 and oragel ..when I woke this Morning my lower lip is three times its size. So my question is do i have to be concerned or should i continue with the medication the doctor prescribed?
[|AI|]  Hi there thanks for asking your query pain and swelling after filling of a tooth means the cavity was deep reaching pulp, so that tooth needs a root canal treatment deep cavities should not be filled as the lesion progresses deep in canals, so it needs to be expiated cleaned and then filled with inert material will suggest you to consult a dentist and get a X-ray done of the tooth to see extend of lesion mean while take antibiotic augmenting 625 mg three times/day along with metronidazole 400 mg two times/day for a week
