Pregnancy and toothache
It's my 6 month of pregnancy. (22 week completed). I have cavity in my left tooth . Yesterday it started paining then I took antibiotic and painkiller as per my gynaecologist suggestion. Today I feel swelling on my left cheek. But pain is low today not as much as it was yesterday also I rinse my mouth with warm salt water. Will infection will go soon? Please tell because I can't visit dentist as there is no dental clinic is open. And because of pregnancy I can't take many medicine. Please help.

Infection has to be drained out. Some antibiotics are contraindicated in first trimeste due to development of the fetus. Ur in 22nd week Pls consult ur gynaecologist for a clinical setting in case u can get urself administered narrow spectrum antibiotic as it’s safe and if the hospital does provide emergency dental treatment then it’s fine. U can check the tooth and get an access opening done ( root canal therapy)

Do not apply heat or pressure on the swelling. Keep the oral cavity clean and continue warm salt water rinses - 3 or 4 times a day. Sleep on the opposite side of the swelling. Complete the antibiotics dosage given by the gynaec.
If the swelling increases or does not decrease even after 2 days please go to a clinic.
Many dental clinics are open in every city, just find out through Google or visit a hospital. Most hospitals have dental departments where they can take up any emergency treatment.
