Hello. Good morning.There could be a cavity or problem related to the tooth near it. We need to make x-ray to find out which tooth it is and what could be the reason of swelling. Do you have pain??Has the swelling increased ?? Has it extended to the lips ? Please send pictures of the swelling on personal chat so I can help you.
Next Steps
We need to start with antibiotics and painkillers if there is pain.
Meanwhile you need to continue with warm water gargles and ice application from outside in that region if the swelling has increased
Health Tips
Be careful do not apply anything on the swelling
