Swelling on my face

2020-05-04 18:26:20
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 ?

Repeat medicine if pain recur ...can postpone if asymptomatic. Can go for emergency RCT with proper sterilization and PPE kit
