Hi I had a tooth infection a month ago and a filling was done after antibiotics were taken. Last week out of nowhere the pain came back twice as bad in the same tooth. I went to the dentist and was give antibiotics again and scheduled a follow up appointment for root canal treatment. on my third day of taking the antibiotics I woke up with a numb lower lip and right side of lower jaw and then the next morning it was swollen. I went to dentist and he opened up the tooth took out the dead nerves and put some medication on the tooth and left it open. he also gave me a one dose antibiotic and told me to finish the other im on.
Since he did the work this morning the pain from the tooth is actually better but my lower lip and face is still numb and swollen.
Should I worry about this? ive read bad things about the infection spreading. Should I go to the hospital?
