Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,

Have you got your wisdom tooth erupted or is it still impacted?

Deep carious or periodontal infected tooth can also cause swelling.

I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical evaluation done by a dentist.

Impacted or deep carious tooth has to be extracted or retained depending on condition of infected tooth.

Meanwhile,Amoxycillin along with clavulanic acid and analgesic has to be administered to relieve underlying infection.

Gargle frequently with lukewarm saline.

Hope this helps.
