I had tooth #19 extracted Feb 14, 2017 because of a fractured root and endodontal broken instrument left in root in 2007 following root canal. Ive taken clyndamycin for 6 days post op, etodolac and chlorhexadrine mouth washes 2x/day. Now the gland under my jaw il swollen, and more painful to open my mouth. I have been unable to sleep tonight. Had chills all day yesterday and may be getting fever. What do you recommend.?
Hello, The symptoms can be due to infection and in case if it looks like you are getting a fever. Then it can be due to viral infection. It can also be due to bacterial infection. It can cause swelling of lymph nodes along with fever and pain. So my suggestions are -To take a combination of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen.-You can also take antibiotics like Amoxicillin.-Take plenty of fluids. If there is no improvement consult an emergency room or a general physician. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
