Suggest Remedy For Tooth Abscess, Swollen Jaw, Chin And Tongue
I have been very light-headed and dizzy all weak with some mild nausea, and woke up this morning with an abscessed tooth swollen jaw and chin and under my tongue is swollen, could this be the reason for the vertigo? I am unemployed and have not received check in 5 weeks and no dental or health insurance and I see I would have to pay for this so never mind. Look up tooth abscess and no dental insurance on google and see what pops up.

Hello,
Initial treatment for an active dental infection often requires antibiotics. Consider visiting a dentist or hospital emergency room for a prescription. This will help control the spread of the infection and most likely temporarily help control the spread of the infection. Take some anti-inflammatory medication such as Tylenol or Motrin. Keep well hydrated.
You will need to determine the source of the infection. Additional treatment will be required. Dental x-rays can help determine if a tooth can be treated with a root canal or require an extraction.
Please seek emergency treatment and then plan to see your dentist. or visit a clinic. There may be some reduced fee dental treatment available in your area. This condition will worsen. Thank you for your inquiry.
