My left side face is swollen, Im almost positive that its due to dental infection, abscess. I was unable to get to my dentist today. Also the antibiotic that Ive been using seems to not be working (metroniadole) perhaps bacteria has build up tolerance for it? I was going to have a few drinks tonight, would that be ill adviced?
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. I read your query.  Chat Doctor.  I suggest you to visit a dentist and get the swelling checked. You may need a few x-rays. If there is cavity and pus causing swelling, then it needs treatment as soon as possible before it spreads and cause further complications. Also, the dentist can prescribe you antibiotics and analgesic depending on your sensitivity and requirement. Hope the answer helps you. Thank you!
