Hi, My question is as followed
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain and swelling over the gum is because of the tooth infection resulting in abscess formation. The abscess will not respond to penicillin. You have to take metronidazole, 400\u00a0mg bid for 5 days(if you are not allergic) along with ibuprofen and paracetamol. Once you complete the course of antibiotics for 3 days, get the tooth treated with root canal treatment. The antibiotics are temporary solution, but you need to get the tooth treated. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
