Stop and see doctor: Best rule to follow is to see the physician quickly if any unexpected side efffects develop. Certainly, if the side effects are serious, seek attnetion immediately.

Where was infection: Need new antibiotic, possible allergic reaction, a swollen tongue can lead to many other problems..........Worse case scenario-------breathing complications-----seek care from dentist, md, nurse practitioner, do not wait!
