Can Antibiotics Cure Oral Lump?
I recently went to the dentist with sores gums and teeth. I have been grinding my teeth alot in the past two weeks. Then I noticed the same side I was grinding my teeth , on the top of the roof of my mouth on the right side along the gums started to swell, very painful, waking me up in the middle of the night with my teeth hurting. The dentist said it is my sinuses. He gave me amoxicillan to take 3 pills a day and painkillers. Well now there is a big lump where it was swollen . There's not as much pain in my teeth but the lump is tender and I can barely eat. I also have a crown on a tooth that had route canal done on it and its on the same side this is all happening. Will this lump go away with antibiotics?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having apical abscess due to infected tooth.
Continue with Amoxicilin, and with antibiotic once infection controls, you will feel better.
If infection does not control and once pus is formed then you might require removal of pus with extraction of tooth.
Ok and take care.
