Antibiotic may help : Even if there is no infection ,taking Antibiotic will prevent infection during healing time. Ask your Dentist to prescribe Antibiotic and pain medication. Rinse your mouth with Luke warm salt water.

Call your Dentist: There may be infection, sinus perforation, or you may have contracted a virus. Your Dentist knows your situation. We don't have access to your x-rays, nor can we perform a clinical examination. Your Dentist is responsible for your post-surgical care. Call him/her.
