Hello XXXX,

Thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic.

Read your query as you have tooth infection and face swelling this can be due to pressure in pulp chamber of infected tooth (pus formation) .
For this I will suggest to take medicine like Cap. Amoxicillin and Analgesic like Cap. Ibugesic plus or Ketrol dt by consulting with local doctor .

Inmeantime Do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day . Dont do Hot formentation over swelling . I will also suggest consult oral surgeon and go for Iopa xray and go for treatment of infected tooth Remove the cause to swelling as there is possibilty of Abscess formation which may need drainage.
