Suggest Remedies For Swelling In My Jaw
I have CAD. For years I have a bad tooth. The past two days have been very painful. I woke this morning with my jaw swollen, but not pain, just discomfort. I do not have money for a dentist nor dr. Do you think it is urgent enough to go to the ER or could I wait a few more days to see if it will pass? Thank you. anne

Thank you for your query,
The symptoms which you have written are indicative of massive infection in your bad tooth.
This can lead to something really bad or just pass as any other infection, that all depends upon your immunity and your resilience.
I would advise you to report to ER, as this discomfort may lead to many problems that you can avoid by visiting the ER.
