Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...Hi. Had an Endo re-do thurs. found an extra canal that was decayed resulting in an horrific abcess. Cheek and gum painful and itchy. does this mean antibiotics are working and abcess is healing?
Hello, Read your query, as you have pain and swelling in gums and cheek this can be due to infection present at apical region of tooth or due to infection in periodontal ligaments. For this I will suggest you to consult your dentist AMD go for Iowa X-ray and in meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, take proper course of antibiotics prescribed by your dentist. Hope this will help you.
