Tooth abcsess problem?

Question:

I have had around 4 abcesess in the past 4 months. I was going to have my tooth out but they had to give me more antibiotics, 4 days later i had my tooth out this was on the 29th sep.
My mouth still did not feel right but i had no pain from the abcess.
I had the cracked tooth removed by having injections in the gum.
When i was being injected my jaw had swollen the size of a small orange.
I was in so much pain the bleeding continued for 4 hours or so even though i had cotton wool in my mouth.
This was on the Friday, on the Tuesday i tried to contact my
dentist early but no reply to i went my GP because of the pain and the swelling.
He put me more antibiotics and ibuprofen for the pain i had another abcsess a tooth away from my extraction on my wisdom tooth.
So now i have to go back again monday the 9th to the dentist my jaw is still swollen i have been on these antibiotics now for 6 days surely the swelling should have gone by now my gum is still tender. What do you think ?

Answers:
see your dentist again, theres a possibility that theres another infection...could he have extracted the wrong tooth?? perhaps it looked as though a different tooth was infected from the xray?? ususally theres not significant swelling after an extraction.

I think your teeth are Ok. but your gums will have to come out!
