Suggest Remedy To Relieve Sore, Painful And Swollen Cheek And Lips After Root Canal Treatment

Hi, I had root canal done on my front tooth yesterday. Was feeling pretty good this morning and later today started having pretty bad pain again and my lip and bit of check is swollen and the lip has a red circle like pattern on it. Sore to touch. Any ideas to maybe relive pain would be great until my appointment tomorrow afternoon. Thanks

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, you have mentioned that you have undergone Root Canal Treatment yesterday now you are feeling pain and swelling , dont worry it can be due to Abcess formation at periapical region was not properly drain , again abcess formation is there , or may b due to Local Anaesthesia injection given is have nerve injury ,
You do warm saline gargle two - three times a day,
Take medication One Tablet Amoxicillin 250 mg three times a day , One Tablet Metronidazole three times a day , Tablet Paracetamol three times a day, one Capsule vitamin B complex once daily
And go to dentist as soon as possible.
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
