Re-evaluation: Have your dentist or oral surgeon (whoever extracted the teeth) re-evaluate the region... if you are still swollen after being on antibiotics for two weeks, a culture may be indicated to determine which bacteria are present and if a change in meds is indicated. Fell better soon...

See your dentist: If you feel you are having any complications or you don't think the infection is going away go see your dentist immediately
