I just went through a terrible root canal experience with an full blown infection. When the infection started I noticed my armpits neck and groin areas to be sore. I also have some unusual swelling on the outside of the vagina area just swelling no itching or redness. It is just sore and seems to be swollen as well. Is this normal with the amount of stress my body has been under for the last week? How long does it take for this to settle down? I am on Amoxicillin.
