Hello,

I think you developed peri odental abscess. After tooth extraction have you on any antibiotics?

Okay, try this medication for 5 days if not subsided better go for opening. Tab. Ranitidine 150 mg before food, Tab. Ibubrufen 400 mg, Tab. Chymurol forte 1 and Tab. Cipro 500 mg.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
