I've already posted a thread but this problem is ongoing. Long story short, I had a tooth extracted 4 days ago and it started to heal normally. 2 days ago the pain got worse and I'm convinced I have an infection. I also accidentally overdosed on paracetamol for 4 days as the pain was so bad. Went to A&E and had checks done - everything seems to be fine. I'm just not allowed to have paracetamol for the next few months. I have a few questions:
- Can I still have antibiotics for this infection? I'm worried the antibiotics might have a negative affect considering all the paracetamol I've had recently. Or is it unrelated?
- As of this morning, my face is visibly swollen where the extraction was whereas it wasn't swollen before. Why is this? Is it related to the infection?
- There seem to be some white spots under the teeth on the gum next to the extraction site. What could this be?
Thanks in advance
