Severe pain, swelling, fever, swollen lymph nodes are commonly presented symptoms.I would like you to know that in order to treat infection you will have to see a dentist, as he/she will prescribe antibiotics in order to resolve all the associated symptoms.Painkillers alone will not help, Once the infection subsides, the broken tooth might need an extraction also. Therefore kindly see a dentist soon, any delay can spread the infection further. I advise you to perform warm saline rinses(3-4 times/day), Use an antibacterial mouth wash(twice/day), avoid overdosing yourself with painkillers, avoid hot food and Chat Doctor. I hope this answer was useful.I wish you good health. </s>
