My five year old has been complaining of pain on the left side of his mouth.  It started in his tooth, later into his gums, and now his entire left side of his face is swollen.  He is also very splotchy on his face.  We have been to the dentist (yesterday) and they took an x-ray showing nothing abnormal in his teeth or gums.  He has been on Amoxicillin for 24 hours and taking Tylenol with codeine every 6 hours.  It is not knocking the pain.  Help....Im really starting to become worried about him.
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as your child had pain in left side of mouth don't be worried AO much this swelling and pain can be due to trauma, due to eruption of permanent tooth first molar, or infection in periodontal ligament. I will suggest you to give him medication prescribed by your dentist amoxicillin and for pain you can medicine like paracetamol, advised him to do Luke warm saline gargle two - three times a day. Hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health.
