Suggest Treatment For Swelling On Roof Of Mouth Along With Infected Tooth

I have an infected tooth. Bottom right jaw had swelling a few days ago but is almost gone. Still tender but roof of my mouth is swelling, my sinuses on the same side are tender, sore throat and my right temple throbs sometimes. Not painfully, just enough to notice. I want to put off going to the hospital as I have no dentist nor insurance but don't know how long I can wait anymore. Please help......

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having forming apical tooth abscess in infected tooth giving rise swelling, pain and tenderness and enlarged sub mandibular lymph nodes.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course for 5 days.
Take anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen for 2-3 days.
Do salt warm water gargles daily.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
