Seeing your dentist for an exam will be best in addressing both your pain and swelling as well as your anxiety. Not all gum pain and swelling is caused by infections. Your antibiotic has good coverage for bacteria that can cause Ludwig angina.

LUDWIGS ANGINA occurs in the submandibular space as a bilateral infection. It is an infection that if untreated can become life threatening with pain ,chills, sore throat, difficulty in swallowing, empyema pericardial effusion and many more problems. See an oral surgeon ASAP you don't problems at your age.

Ludwigs is rare. Tooth/gum inflammation/infection is not. Treat the cause of the pain and the risk of Ludwigs will disappear.
