Thank you for your time and response.
I had a root canal performed on my right incisor on Wednesday morning. Since then I have been on an antibiotic.
Thursday morning I woke up with swelling of the face. My right eye was partially closed(15% closed) and the swelling covered my entire right cheek. I returned to the dentist that morning and the temporary blockage of the canal was removed from the tooth. Blood and pus came out. This alleviated some pain, but not the swelling. The canal was left open to drain.
I just woke up Friday morning, and the swelling has not subsided. It feels more like a liquid ball in my cheek than inflammation. The swelling on the side of the bridge of my nose and beside my eye has stayed the same. There is now discoloration under my eye. Directly above the operative incisor, the soft tissues have hardened.
I was expecting swelling, but this seems extreme.
Thank you for your help.
