Painful swollen upper lip and tender left nostril. It started 3 days ago but swelling appear yesterday night only. Front tooth below left nostril been root canalled years ago and is capped as well. Mild pain in this tooth and adjacent one when hit with lower jaw, very mild pain. But really swollen upper lip and tender left nostril. I am really worried? What it could be. Have been taking coamoxiclav and ibuprofen from yesterday.
Hello and welcome. As per the history posted here it appears that you have developed an abscess in relation to teeth in the upper jaw. The present swelling could be a sign of spreading infection there. Please visit your dentist soon and get it clinically evaluated. As you are already taking antibiotics there is nothing to worry much, but please remember it requires surgical Chat Doctor. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
