Good Morning, Can you help, I had a filling on friday 17/1/14 and my gums and area where the filling was has been very sore, I have been taking ibrophen and paracetamol for the pain which seems to have worked, but I have woken up this morning with a very swollen face and jaw area and itss also very itchy any advice please?? Thanks Paula.
Hello Paula, it could be a periapical abscess, secondary to THT cellulitis of face, take a course of antibiotics and analgesics, do an Iowa radiograph, may be u need a root canal treatment. U also could take antihistamines for itchiness,please consult your dentist for further treatment.asap,hope it helps,TC
