What is the cure for the abscess on the jaw and swelling in the face?
Patient: Hi, I have an abscess on my jaw & my face has become very swollen. I have just started a course of antibiotics(clonamox 500mg) but my face is continuing to swell. I have also been taking ibuprofen for the pain & inflammation. Is there anything else I can try, to bring down the sweling tonight as I have to go to work tomorrow? Thanks Jennifer Doctor: HI Jennifer.Thanks for your elucidate history. This means there is an abscess and you have to get it drained by a Dentist or a Surgeon. This is the sure-shot treatment. You have to continue medicines you are already under.A timely treatment can help you fast and complete recovery. You also have to get the offending tooth out.
