<s>[INST] for two days my mouth has been swollen on the jaw bone near where the wisdom teeth a located. Now this morning i cannot open my mouth and even swallowing is extremely painfull. I cannot even see inside my mouth to tell if it is an abcess, could it be an abcess from the symptoms described? [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain swelling and limited mouth opening is because of the wisdom tooth infection called periodontal abscess leading to cellulitis. The infection in the pterygomandibular space can cause this type of symptoms. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done and take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg TID and metronidazole 400 mg bid(if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. Get the wisdom tooth removed under local anesthesia by an oral maxillofacial surgeon. I hope my answer will help you. Take care </s>
