Hi Rejoy,

I answered your other post. It may not be infection. Best to have it evaluated by an oral surgeon.

After having antibiotics for last 3 days the swelling still hasn't reduced or can't see any improvement therefore i am unable to open my mouth. I am really worried and not sure why the swelling hasn't been reduced yet. Is this something to do with severe infection? Please can you advise?
