Hello, im new here but here is my question! i went in today around 12pm for a root canal! i went in with an infection and a little bit of swelling. around 2pm i took the prescribed medicine amoxicillin and hydrocodone! they sugest i take every 8 hours! i plan to do so but am a little concerned becasue my gum and my cheek and part of m lip got even more swollen i would say about 4-6 times more. is this normal?? what can i do or try to reduce swelling???
