3 months ago I had two crowns put in the back of my loweer jaw.two weeks later my jaw has been swelling and I have pain. My whole cheek is swollen. Went to the dentist and put me on antibiotics. Then saw a endonotist. Teeth are fine put me on more antibodies. My meddoctor ordered Ct on my face and throat. Showed nothing and put me on steroids. Went to ENT at clev. Clinic. He didn t know either but he tried an antibiotic for bacterial infection.my face improved for the first six days then got real bad again. Went to an oral surgeon and he doesn t know either. One doctor suggest another c t with contrast. I don t know what I can do next. Please try to help me. I ice every few hours for the swelling
Hi. Thanks for the query. Well, in case if your teeth are fine and there are no signs of infection then it can be most probably allergic reaction. You might be allergic to any food or medication or any other irritants/allergens that might be causing the swelling. So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated, and a blood test can be done to rule out for allergies and if it comes out to be positive then anti allergic scan be advised that can help in bringing down the swelling. Hope this helps. Regards.
