i needed to get a root canal. they started but could not finish because of infection. my face swelled up really big and they said they were going to take tooth out but needed infection to go away. im on my 3rd round of antibiotics. it reswelled but inside my mouth then rubtured 2 days ago. i have been sick to my stomach and diarreah ever since. went back to dentist yesterday to have it removed and they say give it couple more days still had infection. at this point i am pretty worried. my teeth do not hurt but my cheek bones feels like it is broken. over a month seems to long to me and i dont feel good. any suggestions

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query, as you have infection in tooth still after root canal treatment means this swelling can be due to formation of Abscess at apex of root of infected tooth .Diarehoea can be antibiotic induced dont worry I will suggest you to consult your dentist and tell symptoms of pain and diarehoea and go for antibiotics combination like oznidazole or tinidazole for swelling and after proper course of antibiotics go for removal of tooth.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.
