How To Treat Swelling In Neck Caused After Teeth Cleaning?
My husband had his teeth cleaned on Thursday. His neck started swelling under one side of his jaw with a small amount of pain. The swelling is not going down and is spread to the other side of the neck. How long should he wait to see a Dr. and is there anything we can do at home to stop the swelling.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
swelling in neck after just cleaning of teeth ia doubtful.it must be due to some infection or injury. You should not wait, go n visit a doctor yo know exact cause by seeing the swelling. Dont give warm pressure to swelling. It will increase. U can give him good painkiller with serrtopeptides.
Thank u
