Hello!Thank you for posting in HCM.
Infection in the tooth will only subside with antibiotics.A treatment like root canal or extraction is necessary to completely eliminate infection.Swelling in the face suggests spread of the infection in the tissues of the face.
I suggest you to see your dentist immediately to prevent any further spread of the infection.
Take novamox 500mg,flagyl 400mg for 5 days.Also take ibuprofen for temporary pain relief.Do not postpone treatment.
Hope this helps.
