Been having the feeling that my lower jaw was swollen for almost a week now. But i experinced no pain but tingle. And last night, my brother said that my face looked swollen. And following morning I think that I felt puss or liquid like maybe what I was feeling, was a blister or something. I had a Dr visit then I first notice the tingle and she said she couldnt find anything. All I can think of is of the dentist visit I had last month. Any thoughts??
Hi Thanks for the query If the jaw is swollen, and you also feel pus can be due to abscess formation that can be due to any tooth decanter causes can be due to infection or obstruction in the salivary glands first you should get it checked and for these Dentists appropriate. In case if it is due to tooth abscess then treating the tooth or getting it removed depending on condition of tooth can help. It has to be done followed by antibiotics and painkillers. Secondly if it is due to infection in the salivary gland then antibiotics can help. So first the cause has to be ruled out Hope this helps. Regards
