Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
That swelling and pain could be because of infection.
Antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor will help in controlling infection.
Your child requires further treatment for that broken tooth with discoloration.
I suggest you should consult a dentist for the same.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
