Hi I am a 29 year old female who is has and infection in the root of a tooth and has been on amoxicillian for the last three days. No allergies . But over the last few hours the side of my face that my teeth that need to be taken out on has become slightly swollen, cannot shut eye by itself, almost like the muscles aren t working, there is no numbness or pain and the eye looks fine, vision is fine and the eye follows on it s own when following the tip of a finger left and right. Please help. Could this be a pinched nerve? or a stroke? One side of my face isn t as responsive and its the side that the bad teeth are on.
Hello...your present swelling is because of the infected tooth which you said is to be removed. Amoxicillin is not working on your condition, and you need a more advanced antibiotic and painkillers. This swelling will go gradually, and you need to take some precautions like, do not eat or give pressure on that side.  Do not sleep on that side of face else it might increase your swelling. Consult your dental surgeon for change of your medications. It can be possible that if possible Root canal Treatment can also help you combat infection. Chat Doctor.
