Swelling on my face
I had cavity on my canine tooth . Doctor recommended me RCT which I was not able to do for last 2 months due to some personal issues. 5 days back , my face swelled and I took antibiotics post consulting a dentist online. Swelling is gone now. But due to lockdown I am not able to find a doctor for RCT. Please guide me if I can postpone till the lockdown is relaxed ?
