[|Human|] The roof of my mouth is swollen its been 3 days now and its only gotten a lil better I dnt what to do Ive been taking pain killers and brushing and rinsing my teeth with listerine which only helps for a lil while.....what else can I do besides go to the dentist ??
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, the swelling in the roof of your mouth could be because of the puss collection(periapical abscess or periodontal abscess), kindly get your oral cavity examined thoroughly and need to take radiographs in relation to the swelling to rule out other pathologies....you have to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg TID and metronidazole 400 mg TID (if you are not allergic), continue saline gargling.visit your dentist for prompt diagnosis and treatment.take care
