Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Was the tooth extracted completely ? Was any part of the tooth left behind.
If I were a treating dentist ,I would have advised a radiograph to rule out if there was any tooth piece left behind. If yes ,removal of the tooth is to be done.

Antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg along with Metrolag 400mg on prescription will help.

Consult a good oral surgeon and have it reviewed .If necessary the abscess has to be drained.

Do salt water gargling.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
