Hello,

Your symptoms can be probably due to sinus infection or can also be due to deep tooth decay.

Taking antibiotics can help but first of all you need to get the cause ruled out so that appropriate treatment can be done for permanent resolution.

So, my suggestion is to consult an oral surgeon and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination should be done. If there is not dental infection a sinus x-ray can be done.

For now continue taking antibiotics and also take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and do cool compresses over the swelling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
