Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, taking antibiotics for a long time in cases of pus discharge, ie, absess will result in antibioma.in such cases the swelling will become hard with stony consistency. Visit a dentist and get the diagnosis of your problem. The assess has to be Chat Doctor. I advice you to get an x-ray of that area to rule out any periapical pat hoses present. Your jaw has locked due to spread of infection. After treating the problem i advice you to take antibiotics. Taking antibiotics without medical supervision is not a healthy attempt. Hope you will follow our advice.
