Wisdom Tooth Infection. Took Moxiclov, Klont, Algidrin And Brufen. What Does The Finding Mean?
i went to the dentist about my wisdom tooth a week ago and told me that i have an infection, she gave me moxiclov of 1g i ended up going to the doctor aswell since i could not open my mouth and had a big lump in my troath. The doctor gave me Brufen of 800g the pain did nearly go away but i still could not open my mouth. yesterday i went again to the dentist and she again gave me klont of 200g and algidrin of 600g the problem is i still cannot open my mouth i have not eaten for a week and a half and am very depressed. Can you please tell me what i can take in order for my lump to go down and me to be able to eat

Hello and welcome to hcm forum,
The pain and swelling,throat and ear infection,limited mouth opening are symptoms of pericoronitis caused due to impacted wisdom tooth.
The signs will disappear only if the tooth gets any treatment done.
I would advice you to visit an oral maxillofacial surgeon and get clinical as well as x-ray evaluation.
Based on x-ray report,tooth has to be either extracted or flap overlying tooth has to be removed to enhance tooth eruption.
Take medicines as per dentist's prescription.
Gargle frequently using lukewarm saline and betadine solution.
Rinse your mouth after every meals.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Hope this helps.
