A member asked:

My son has a swollen cheek and was at discem pharmist and gave him meds but does not help. what is next step?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See Pedodontist: Most probable cause is infected tooth. Pharmacist can't fix that. See a childrens' dental specialist, a Pedodontist. All children should start seeing a Dentist NO LATER THAN 1st B'DAY. This can b3 quite serious and spread rapidly to other organ systems.
