Have Decay In Tooth, Soreness And Swelling In Jaw. Taken Amoxicillin. Will Ice Help Tone Down Swelling?
I have decay in my tooth. I cannot have it extracted until my INR is within range. I took ten days worth of amoxicillin and finished about a week ago. The tooth is extremely sore and the jaw is swollen below the tooth. I will be seeing the dentist tomorrow with the latest report on my INR. Meanwhile, OUCH! Would ice be good to help the swelling go down? I don't know if I can stand the cold on the site.

Have Decay In Tooth, Soreness And Swelling In Jaw. Taken Amoxicillin. Will Ice Help Tone Down Swelling?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Tooth pain indicates infection in the tooth, such type of infected tooth needs to be treated with Root Canal Treatment to save it permanently. I would like to tell you that antibiotics and analgesics will give a temporary relief, Drainage of the abscess is required. I would encourage you to visit to the Dentist and get the checkup an x-ray done, once the abscess is drained the swelling will be reduced. Hope you find this as helpful, Regards...
