Hi,
I've been recently plagued with upper front tooth infection.I had a crack in my upper front tooth with some decay which was fixed about 7 months ago.then just recently my teeth started feeling really sensitive to hot or cold extremes.I started feeling a lot of acute pain in the same area where the dentist had worked.Then my upper lip started to swell and not go down ,i went in to my dentist who performed more exrays and said i needed root canal on 3 of my upper front teethbecause i have an infection.he gave me antibiotics (erythrocin st 500mg) and hydrocodone for pain relief.but 48 hours later I'M still in pain and my front upper lip is still swollen, also my lymph nodes in the neck area is really tender.What should I do ?
