What Causes Swelling In Face After A Tooth Extraction?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

You have mentioned he is a diabetic , is the sugar levels under control? Is he on diabetic medication.

Controlled sugar levels are very important in the healing of any wound as any high levels will cause the persistant infection.

I would advice you to visit the dentist at the earliest and have it evaluated, get the sugar levels in control .

Antibiotics maybe required like amoxicillin and metrolag ( if he is not allergic to any medication).

Salt water gargling is to be done .

Hope this was helpful .
Thanks and regards .

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The swelling will occur usually if any bone cutting done during the procedure or secondary to any residual infection or infection from the adjacent tooth. You need to consult a oral physician and get it ruled out, since you are diabetic do not take chance. Since you are telling you do not have money, You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). If the swelling does not reduce then consult a oral physician as early as possible.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
