Hi - I had a recent root canal and developed an infection above the root into my cheek.  I have taken a course of Amoxicillin and it cleared for a few weeks.  Now with hard knot of pain and new antibiotic of Ciprofloxacin.  Pain and infection seems to radiate up cheek again.  How concerned should I be?
Hello, thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. It looks that after root canal also the infection has not healed, even it is spreading to the soft tissue spaces that is why it is causing swelling of cheek. Better you should visit your dentist again and get an x-ray of the tooth, which will show if infection has healed or not and if necessary go for re root canal. Hope it will help you.
