Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in.

I went through attached reports & it seems like abcess tooth which needs to be extracted.You need to get an IOPAR done of associated tooth to rule out exact etiology.
Meanwhile you may give him ibugesic syrup & amoxiclav-375 for 3 days. Consult your dentist for further treatment plan.

Hope I answered your query

Wishing you good health
