My toothache is gone but my swelling hasn't and it been one day and today it feels it got bigger. ..what should i do?

Get immediate help: The tooth infection is spreading into the surrounding tissues, and can be carried to other organ systems via your circulatory system. You have a severe infection that mandates immediate attention. Get yourself to a Dentist immediately. When you call, tell them the infection is causing increasing swelling. Go now.
