Hello. I have recently had an abscess and been prescribed 2 lots of antibiotics to help clear the infection and I stopped taking them yesterday and today my left cheek is sore and swollen again I cant get to a dentist until Thursday at the earliest im going to go see my gp tomorrow and see if they can give me some more antibiotics. What would you suggest? . Thanks.
Hello, Thank you for consulting with Chat Doctor. As you are mentioning that you were having an abscess in the tooth, and you were prescribed antibiotics now after antibiotics again swelling has started, it looks like that the infection is still present there. Actually when there is infection is present in the tooth a root canal treatment should be started with antibiotics which will help in healing, only antibiotics can not solve the problem. So you have to visit your dentist to get started with root canal treatment. Hope it will help you.
