What Is The Solution For Swelling In Face, Painful Jaw After Molar Extraction?
After a lower molar extraction two days ago my face is very swollen under the jaw and the gland there is painful. Swallowing is painful and I feel unwell though not very. I have been taking Amoxicillin - 5/21 capsules. Painkillers [paracetamol] help but don't remove the pain

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling could be because of the secondary infection or it can be inflammatory swelling secondary to bone cutting during tooth removal. if i am your treating doctor i would have suggested you to take metronidazole and diclofenac along with those drugs. do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you. take care
