Severe Tooth Pain, Upper Lip Tender, Swollen. Swelling Below Left Eye. Treatment?
friday and saturday I had severe tooth pain from what apparently was a nerve dying and decomposing (ice water is the only thing that helped.) Last night the tooth pain went away but my upper lip became tender, i assumed from such a long exposure to cold water. I woke up this morning with no tooth pain, but my upper lip is swollen and continues up along the left side of my nose, i can see the swelling just below my left eye's vision
From your information it is clear that the involved tooth is in front side...
The infection has spread to the space and its called a space infection....I think you can feel warm on the affected region due to localized increase of temperature...
According to your clinical symptoms i suspect that you have developed a severe infection of the tooth that had spread to the periapical tissues leading to formation of abscess, if the treatment is delayed it can spread to the tissue spaces leasing to formation of space infection.
I would suggest you to visit to an Oral Surgeon and get a checkup done take an x-ray of the region. Drainage of the asbcess is required. Depending upon the spread of infection the tooth will go for root canal treatment or extraction.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics under prescription of your Dentist. At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
hello friend your signs and symptoms suggest me of infection in your maxillary sinus that might have spread through your upper tooth. get your tooth examined completely by a dentist and also get an x-ray done of that area. complete drainage of the pus through root canal will help. also take amoxillin and clavunic acid combination along with analgesic and some serratiopeptidase combination to get symptomatic relief. wish you best of your health and spirits
Hi, Welcome to HCM forum, Swelling in upper lip and below left eye is due to spread of infection. Consult dentist for thorough clinical and radiographical examination to rule the cause behind this infection. It can be deep caries or gum disease so treatment will be accordingly. Follow antibiotic prescription and maintain oral hygiene. take care

Severe Tooth Pain, Upper Lip Tender, Swollen. Swelling Below Left Eye. Treatment?
Hello Friend, Thank you for writing at HCM, From your information it is clear that the involved tooth is in front side... The infection has spread to the space and its called a space infection....I think you can feel warm on the affected region due to localized increase of temperature... As soon as possible you have to visit Dentist... Root canal treatment or extraction is needed depending on your tooth condition... Don t apply hot fomentation from outside that may worsen the existing inflammation... You can take warm saline mouth rinse... Get well soon...
