Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had my jaw surgically broken 24 years ago. I still have 1 plate in each cheek. About 2 and a half weeks ago I noticed my right cheek was swollen. It aches. It has progressively gotten worse. Painful. Treating with Advil. Went to dentist thinking perhaps I had a tooth problem. She took X-rays and said there was nothing she could see. She referred me to an oral surgeon and gave me antibiotics. My appointment with the surgeon is not for another three weeks. The pain is not getting better not is swelling going down. Thoughts?
