Suggest Medication For Vertigo And Swelling Of Face After Retrieval Of Tooth

hi, i have just had my very back right tooth taken out and im now suffering from terrible vertigo, which started the same night, I had had a small filling in it, but then had to visit the emergency dentist (due to pain) i was given antibiotics and the tooth was drilled through to start off a root canal, I have been in constant and have three abcesses (treated with antiobiotics) since october, I choose not to have but to have it out and put an end to it, I had it out on the 13th Jan and im still not right. My face is still swollen and its a little sore, but its not too bad, but the dizziness and nausea leave me feeling really off! any help would be appreciated, fed up now, thankyou

Hello,
infections must be fuly treated to be eliminated and allow your body to heal. Infected teeth require an extraction or completed root canal therapy. Presctiption antibiotics may be necessary to control the spread of infection. Take anti-inflammatory medication to help your level of discomfort. A combination action of Tylenol and Advil is very effective. Your body reacts to medications and may require different types if you have resistant infections or have delayed treatment.
Complications from an extraction will require a return visit for evaluation and possible medication placed in the extraction site.
Thank you for your inquiry. Plan a dental visit to complete all treatment and eliminate active infections as soon as possible. Follow proper nutrition and good daily dental care.
