What To Do For The Swollen Face Followed By Wisdom Tooth Removal Treatment?

Hi my name is Erika I went to the dentist Nov 13th to get a wisdom tooth out. Now i keep getting sinus infections, I took a 10 day dose of anti-biotics but my infection came back with a cold and another sinus infection and this morning I woke up with a swollen face on the side where the wisdom tooth was pulled. I need advice on which doctor to go to I don't have insurance and I don't want to be going to three different doctors, should I go back to the dentist, a reg GP doctor or a ear nose and throat doctor? Thank you Erika Martin

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have undergone wisdom tooth extraction dont worry you should consult dentist and go for investigations IOPA xray if there is any infection present in socket .

As you have problem of sinus also swelling can be related to sinus infection if there is no finding in oral cavity then consult ENT surgeon .

Hope this will help you.
