My tooth is swelled it'and I chipped mine eating a Carmel sucker and I'm scared because mines been swelled for 2 or 3 days and it hasn't went down a lot. I went to my local hospital and they put me on antibiotics but when I called the dentist they told me to let the swelling go down but I'm scared because what if it speeds to my brain!!! Please help

You need to go to the dentist,he will probally put you on anti-biotics and maybe pain relivers for a few days-then he will either save the tooth if he can or extract it,but this won't get better on it's own if it's abcessed.Since your face is swollen you need to go to a dentist right away asap.
