What should i do to minimize the size of my swollen jaw lump that was created by my infected tooth?

Treatment: After seeing a dentist, having the tooth dealt with and getting appropriate antimicrobials, the swelling will go down.

See your dentist: See your dentist. He will prescribe antibiotics or drain the area. You will probably need root canal treatment.

Fix the tooth.: A lump in the jaw caused by an infected tooth is due to a build up of pus. Once the tooth is treated or extracted, this lump will disappear.

Oral surgeon: Has the tooth been treated? If so, the lump should dissipate. If not treated, see an oral surgeon for evaluation and treatment.
