[|Human|] I have an abscess from a tooth but it has not broken the skin i also have something that looks like an abscess formed on the roof of my mouth that is close to the tooth.I was in pain for two days and prescribed two types of anti biotics.Now my face is all swelled up but pain is gone what do i do to get the swelling down?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling and pain is because of the abscess or collection of pus secondary to teeth or gum infection. Consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOP AR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection 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). Till we treat the cause of infection the swelling will not come down. So I would have suggested going for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
