Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In Jaw After Root Canal Treatment

Hi Im 32 yrs old and just had a root canal. A day after i felt some swellness under my jaw line. Its grown to a size of a golf ball and has affected my swallowing of food and water. Its painful at times and very uncomfortable. I went to the dentist and gave me some anitbiotics. What can I do in the meantime with the pain?

Hi...pain in tooth and swelling is the sign of infection .so you have undergone rct is good ..but if still you have pain then I will suggest you to have iopa over swelling tooth .. Until that we can't say. For temporary relief have pain killer and antibiotic course and lukewarm salt water gargel.there might be other decay tooth also
So plz consult your dentist.
