[|Human|] I HAVE AN ABCESSED TOOTH AND MY DENTIST STARTED ME ON 500MG AMOXICILLIN AND 50MG TRAMADOL FOR PAIN BEFORE HE EXTRACTS BAD TOOTH. MY FACE HAS SWOLLEN CONSIDERABLY SINCE STARTING THE MEDS. COULD THIS BE AN ALLERGIC REACTION? I.VE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST.
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. You have tooth abscess and doctor prescribed you antibiotic and painkiller which is right choice of medication. Swelling on face is because infection can spread to other parts of the oral cavity like floor of the mouth or tongue and leads to swelling. Chances of allergic reaction is rare. I would suggest you to :-- Give warm compresses 2-3 times a day.- Ask her to do warm saline rinses several times a day.- Take proper rest.- Chat Doctor. Doctor may prescribe stronger antibiotics (cephalexin), extend the period of antibiotic course, or may order X-ray of abscess tooth to find out other cause if there is any. If there is any irritant that is not letting the swelling come down then doctor will remove that. Hope your concern has been resolved. Best Wishes,
