Have Pain And Swelling On Temple Area. Root Canal To Be Done. Related To Teeth?

Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that there might be a possibility of some pus collection in the superficial temporal space. This can be due to spread of infection from a tooth to the temporal space.
I would suggest that you should get following investigations done:-
1. Complete Blood Count.
2. Ortho Pento Gram (OPG).
3. Ultrasound of the area.
You can take pain killers like Ibuprofen one tablet twice a day after meals along with an antacid like Omeprazole 20 mg.
Antibiotic like Amoxycillin and Clavulanate along with a probiotic preparation may be needed to treat the infection.
Medical management can be planned according to the reports of the above investigations.
Hot compress may be helpful in reducing pain and swelling.
Also get yourself examined by a dental surgeon.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.


You are welcome.
The investigations will help in planning proper management.
If you have any doubts, please mention.
I wish you good health.
Regards.
