Hello,
A dental examination is necessary for correct diagnosis and management of your condition. A tooth abscess is usually a complication of tooth decay. Prompt treatment can save the tooth and a root canal may be recommended in an attempt to save the tooth. Untreated abscesses may get worse and can lead to life-threatening complications. You have already been taking antibiotics but the symptoms have worsened so you may need draining of the abscess and using antibiotics to treat non-serious infections and for a prolonged period can make them less effective at treating more serious infections causing antibiotic resistance. Amoxicillin is drug of choice.Metrogyl can be used as an alternative drug. A dental examination and X-rays are important for correct diagnosis and management of your condition. Jaw swelling can be due to many causes. It could possibly be due to spread of infection to the jaw or enlarged lymph nodes. Among the possible issues is a tooth abscess or tooth injury. A visit to the dentist may help. Keep me posted.
