Suggest Treatment For Painful And Swollen Tooth

My mom has a SEVERE toothache, her mouth is a little swollen, and she can't get anywhere because it's raining really hard and we are expecting a hurricane. In the afternoon, a dentist told her he thought it was infected. Please give remedies or advice. Please!

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the tooth ache could be because of the tooth infection. you need to consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis, after that the tooth can be treated with either root canal treatment or extraction. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like penicillin 500mg TID and analgesics like diclofenac 50mg BID ( if you are not allergic and sensitive to these drugs). do saline gargling. consult a dental surgeon or endodontist as early as possible. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
