<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.i have a tooth that broke in half a year ago and then i slacked and didnt get it fixed it hurt un controllably for 2 weeks i have no medical insurance and today i woke up and my face a jaw and mouth around the tooth is swollen. im a laid off emt so i have needles and such in my bag and was wondering if i should drain the puss out. and there are no lumps so its not abcesed  <response>: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and swelling is because of the tooth infection secondary to the trauma. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph to rule out the infection. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days if you are not allergic. Once you get money, you can get the tooth treated with RCT or extraction. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
