Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
Swollen face indicates that the infection in the tooth has spread to the surrounding periapical tissue.
I would suggest you to get the x-ray of the tooth is require a re-RCT has to be performed.
Take tab Augmentin TDS and tab Aceclofenac serratiopeptidase combination TDS for 5 days, this will resolve your swelling.
At home take lukewarm slaine nad antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
