Tooth Infection
I really hope someone can help me. I am starting to get a tooth infection. Now, I am taking antibiotics, but, I have to go to work tom. So, my question is, how can I keep the swelling down. I have had this before and usually it starts out like it is now, then I wake up the next day looking like I am hoarding a balloon in my cheek.
Thanks

Ok if you are taking antibiotics that is a good first step, now I would also take advil/motrin every 4-6 hours also keep cold compressess on the side of your face. DO NOT USE HEAT as this increases the discomfort. Sleep elevated and if the pain gets bad and the advil doesn't work try rubbing cloves (the spice) or placing a cool/lukewarm teabag beside the affected tooth and believe it or not it soothes it. If it does start to swell use a bag of peas on your face, its better distribution then ice...
Hope this Helps, I am the queen of the absess/tooth infection.
