I have been in agony, which I thought was a tooth ache, but its not. It seems to be in my jaw as it affects all the way up to my ear down to my jawline and then some up in my cheek. It is swollen. I cannot eat regular food as it hurts my jaw. I can t talk a lot, make faces, laugh, etc as it hurts soo bad. I ve been on Clindamyacin since last Wednesday. 2 tabs TID So I don t know whats going on. I just feel like whatever it is spreading and I don t like it. If you could help me, I would be so grateful. Thank you.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The kind of pain and swelling you are describing looks like it is arising from wisdom tooth infection(peritonitis or periodontal abscess leading to cellulitis). Consult an oral physician and get yourself examined completely and take a radiograph like OPG to rule out the tooth infection or any pathology.Meanwhile, you can continue the same course of antibiotics take only 600 mg in a day means 300 mg two times daily. Do saline gargling. Consult the oral physician as soon as possible. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
