Treatment For Swollen Jaw And Pain In Wisdom Tooth?
Hi I think my wisdom tooth is infected. I started getting pain yesterday and by last night it was swollen. This morning my jar is a bit swollen still. I am a flight attendant and need to fly today although I can hardly smile or talk. Would you recommend this or can you recommend anything to help? The pain is not unbearable but Advil is certainly helping

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have pain in your wisdom tooth dont worry it can be due to Carious or there may be pocket formation may be swelling cab be due to Pericoronal Abscess,
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Take analgesic Diclofenac sodium twice daily for 3 days
When you come back visit dentist and get investigations IOPA xray done and go for treatment Restoration Or Oral prophylaxis done
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
