Swollen face: Are you also being treated for the cause of the tooth infections? Taking antibiotics alone will not necessarily bring the swelling down. You might require an incision ; drainage if the infection is walled off from the body's defense mechanisms. An increase in antibiotic dose or a change to another antibiotic might be required. A culture might also be required to determine the best antibiotic 2 use.

Consult your dentist: Your continued swelling may indicate a need to review or adjust your antibiotic to combat the infection. If your dentist determines that the dosage is appropriate, he may decide to switch you to a different antibiotic. Call your dentist for immediate attention to this problem.
