Question : Have been to my dentist., endodontist. Who prescribed Clindamicin for 3x10 days. Swelling receded but after couple days returned. Primary said that was protocol to follow. Nothing is better. I feel it's worse and I regretfully say I don't know what to do next.

I missed answer about which md most likely to diagnose and treat salavatory gland problem if that's what it is. Thanks.
