Can Toothache Cause Swelling Of Face And Eyelid?

I have an infection from a tooth that seems to be spreading. My right side of face is swollen. It is up to my eye. It is going to my upper eyelid. Should I go to emergency? I went to Doctor earlier and got some antibiotics. It looks like it is spreading.
