I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. It usually requires 4 to 5 days to get cured. Usually the teeth infections are anaerobic and anaerobic bacteria mixture. For this type of infection combination of metronidazole and penicillin groups of antibiotics is prescribed. I suggest you to take above medication under your doctors' guidance. Please avoid chewing on the sweeping side. Please maintain good oral hygiene by frequent mouth washing like medicine gargle.
