A member asked:
Will an infected tooth swell more on antibiotics the first night before it goes down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can vary: It can take upto few doses of antibiotics before you see the results from antibiotics..So sometimes you can see swelling or getting worse but if it doesn't get better in a day consult your dentist.
