What Could Be Done To The Abscess In Tooth Which Is Sore And Swelling Spread Until The Eye?

lI had an abses in my tooth a wile ago it was very sore so I pressed with my finger next to my nose, ( when you smile the line that forms from you nose out to your cheek bone). I had antibiotics it got better but afterwards it still was sore in that area and it felt like a little boll sat there and I was scared to press or touch it. The other day I pressed there and now it is very swollen it does not hurt, but it is very swollen and now and then there is a feeling of a faint pinch. The swelling has spread from my cheek to now under my eye.

Hello and welcome.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Swelling,pain and redness shows infection.It is very much clear that an infected upper tooth had given rise to abscess.

It should be treated soon by drainage ,through the tooth by opening it.

It is nice that you are taking antibiotics please continue that for three days and see your dentist soon in this regard.

The tooth can be very well saved by root canal treatment.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.
Take care.
