Get seen asap : The profile further indicates took antibiotics (unspecified) which were expired and that antibiotics are even hard to find. This is an unfortunate situation and if not addressed asap, could lead to dire consequences. Need intravenous and the right type of antibiotics. Your doctor, surgeon, dentist, oral surgeon, ent, etc. May be able to help. Try local un office or red cross. Urgent.

This is concerning: A tooth infection that has spread to adjacent unrelated areas can be a sign of a potential big problem. She really needs to find help. Start on an antibiotic... Perhaps Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) 500 mg 4x per day if there is a pharmacy there. Otherwise pull the tooth and remove the source of the infection.
