My father-in-law was here in america for 6 months and this is his 5th month. All of a sudden from yesterday his cheek was swollen and by reading the previous posts, i am sure it is abscess by listening all of his same symptoms like breaking teeth little by little from 6 months which he didnt told us till now. I do have enough amoxillin 500mg tabs with me. Can i continue them to him and wait till he goes back so that he can pull his teeth over there in india? Shall i add ibrufen to that too? how much mg of ibrufen should i give? Is it ok to travel in flight without pulling this teeth? Is it dangerous? It is too costly for me here which seems like i cant bear it as we had teeth treatments done for me and my husband also this month. His travel insurance people said after all deductables he give 80% of the bill which is again only till 100$. please help me with your valued suggestions... Thankyou MEDHELP!!!!
You both need competent medical or dental assistance! Infections need treatment with antibiotics and the right antibiotics. Please don't put off treatment by either a medical doctor or dentist.
Trying to remove teeth yourself is not advised. Many times a root wraps around the bone and you can REALLY injure yourself in a permanent manner. Please do not try this.
Massive jaw bone infections can be the result of self treatment in this manner.
To chrischavez: You need immediate medical assistance. Go to your local emergency room.

This could be a dangerous thing and you would want to see a dentist immediately. The infection could spread through the soft tissue. Whether you can pull it or not yourself, that is something that you could only answer. I would not try it myself however.
