How To Treat Left Wisdom Tooth Infection Along With Swelling In Left Tonsil?
Hi, I have had rather a lot of trouble with my bottom left wisdom tooth over the last year or so including an infection. The dentist also told me a couple of months back that my tooth is impacting. Over the last couple of days the pain in my wisdom tooth has flared up again however, this morning I noticed pain and swelling in my left tonsil. Could the two be related and do you know what could be the cause, please?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Yes this swelling is related to the wisdom tooth only, as impected tooth causes infection in bone and it spreads to adjacent spaces and even causes swelling in the lymph node also , this is lymph node swelling only.
Better you should get it removed, as other wise infection will spread. Before that start with antibiotics and painkillers.
Hope it will help you.
