What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing After Cavity Filling?

I had three cavities filled on the bottom left side of my mouth yesterday and today I woke up to find it hard to swallow. The tonsil on that side looks like its gone. I have big tonsils and the left one is no where near the size it was before. It hurts to swallow, only on the left side though. Is this normal?

Hello

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have difficulty in swallowing dont worry this can be due to throat infection , I will suggest you to consult Ent surgeon for examination of throat and inmeantime for throat infection you can do warm saline rinses 2 - 3 times a day and you can take medicine like Azithromycin if you are not allergic to drug .

Hope this will help you.
