HI there,
I have been Googling my symptoms (Silly me!) and ended up full of anxiety. I am being treated for an abscessed tooth. I started Amoxicillin 500mg 3 times a day for 5 days. I am currently on day 4.
The pain has almost gone now although I am still taking pain killers. The swelling has mostly disappeared, however I am left with some swelling above my jaw bone. The swelling is about 2 inches long, soft but very tender.
Today is Monday, I finish my medication tomorrow and I will be given root canal treatment on Wednesday.
Should i be worried about the swelling? I can't see where it will drain from within my mouth. When I google tooth abscesses, I read lots of posts about the dangers of abscesses bursting etc. etc.
Should I see someone sooner than Wednesday, or should I leave this for my dentist to drain?
Thanks! I'm worried
