hello before i ask sorry for i bad know eng leng, but it really need for me. Questions: Ill be brief. For the third day of swollen cheek, tomorrow at work (at night), the tumor is not big (relative). Abscess, as far as I understand it, somewhere at the bottom (not visible on the gums), the tooth is dead, time does not see a doctor, was drinking Analgesic. What is the likelihood of complications four to five days of flux? Thank you.
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Tooth decay associated with pain, swelling suggests periapical abscess which is untreated will spread to the adjacent structures and can cause complications for your health. If I had a patient with this particular complaint, I would suggest antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Metro lag 400 mg on prescription. If pain ibuprofen would be helpful(if not allergic to any medicine). Start with root canal treatment if it could be done following a radiograph. If not extraction would be the last option. Salt water gargling would be recommended. Application of hot bag externally will not be recommended. Visit your endodontist and have the tooth and swelling checked as soon as possible. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards.
