Can I Take Anadin To Reduce Painful Swollen Cheek And Gums?

I went to the dentist as I have a swollen cheek and my gums hurt. He told me he cant do anything for the pain as he cant see in my mouth properly and the xrays were not the best. He has prescribed me 2 things "Metronidazole" to treat the inflammation and also "Amoxicillin" I was meant to ask him if I can take something like anadin to help keep my tempeture down and relive some of the pain but I forgot. Unfortunately I was not thinking that straight as I have been in agony for 5 days now and am struggling to get any sleep at night.
Thanks Nige

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the swelling can occur secondary to tooth infectio take radiographs like OPG and if you dont find any tooth related infection then you can think of any arterovenous malformation within the masseter muscle. you might have to go for ultrasound..the swollen gums could be because of the deposits or tooth infection...consult a oral physician and do a thorough examination for proper diagnosis... i hope my answer will help you..take care..
