Pain In The Mouth. Swelling In The Upper Lip After Taking Tylenol With Codeine. Cause?

Hi, I've been having pain in the left side of my mouth for awhile, in the beginning I didn't know what to think, then I slowly thought it was wisdom teeth. I believe that what it is. I started to take tylenol with codeine that was prescribed to me awhile back. After a few days I notice the inside upper lip is swelling. It's only in the middle of my lip. My tooth pain has stop, but swelling is a problem. I can't go to the denist because of Holliday weekend.

Hello,
A direct clinical examination is necessary to rule out the cause of toothache.
Pain in mouth and lips can be relieved by applying dologel on the affected area.
Meanwhile gargle frequently with warm saline or betadine.
Get impacted wisdom tooth removed or saved depending on position of tooth.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Decayed teeth has to be restored if present.
Take complete course of antibiotics-analgesics prescribed.
Please do visit a dentist for further treatment.
Hope this helps.
