Overnight swollen face and mild toothach
Root canal of my left side (2nd last tooth) is due. I have ignored actually since it was not hurting. But there was a small bulge on the gum below the tooth. All of a sudden a gradual swelling on the cheek started to grow painless though. But now my left cheek n chin area is badly swollen and mild pain in tooth has occurred. What can be done for immediate relief. However I will go to the doctor tomorrow. But how do I reduce swelling and pain for the time being.

Hello,
U should start with warm saline rinses and betadine gargles at least 2-3 times a day for immediate relief.
Avoid lying on the same side (affected side).
Immediately plan ur visit to some dentist else it may to lead to space infection.
It's time to visit.
Hope it helped.
