hello there, im an oromaxillofacial diagnostician, thanks for the quiery. your history was incomplete, is your dental treatment completely over. or is it intermittent stage, anyways you should start taking antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole for the swelling you mentioned, which is called cellulitis also along with analgesics which you r taking. If pain doesnt subside you have to see your dentist for emergency incision and drainage.Hope it helps, feel free to get back.
