Question:
My daughter had a horrrrible toothache, went to dentist yesterday and they gave her anti-biotics and pain meds (she's 19). Her whole jaw is swollen now and she has blisters inside her mouth, like on her cheek?? Dentist office is closed of course until 8am so thought I'd see if anyone else has seen this before? It looks pretty scary!!!
Answers:
Sounds like the infection is spreading. Probably needs a change in the antibiotic. Might be a good idea to open it up and let it drain. Sure I've seen people in this condition. Probably every general dentist has. The good thing is that they get well fast unless they are medically compromised .
