Tooth pain for my mother
My mom has decayed teeth in the upper jaw. One of them was removed previously (others weren't removed as she had BP and doctor said not to at that time) and later after an year time she got tooth pain so doctor had prescribed (mahacef 200, asyclo sp and izra 40) tabs. She was fine with it for about an year but now may be I am not sure due to this cold weather or she might have eaten something hard which led to her tooth gum (interior middle part of gum/tooth is not there) pain slightly.
I also noticed there is a small mouth ulcer type bubble on the side of the gum (upper jaw) OR a bony type extension (I hope not).
Now she has taken the same above tablets which has relieved her from the pain. But there is a small swelling on her cheek outside now. Is this due to some allergy or something?
What is the recovery for this?
Currently she takes Ivaprien GM for knee pain and Telvas 3D for BP

Hello Sir , Welcome to PRACTO
This is your Dentist -
I went through your query Sir , Am very sorry for the inconvenience .
I think its an abscess now , it fits the bubble on the gums, swelling on the cheek.
So, She needs an extraction as soon as possible by monitering her BP status.
Till.then
- Cap Sporidex 500mg
1 Cap bd x 5 days
- Tab Metrogyl ER
1 tab bd x 5 days
- Tab Zerodol Sp
1 tab bd x 5 days
- Cap Pan D
1 Cap bd before meal x 5 days
- Betadine mouthwash ,gargle in lukewarm water 2-3 times a day.
These medicines are safest drugs for you Mom, nothing to worry about. But get the extraction done before further complication.
She will be fine ,once the extraction done. Nothing to worry.
I hope it was helpful.
Post of any further query.
I pray for your Mom's Good health.
Have a Good Day.
Thank's Alot.

Dear practo user
Get treatment done with problematic teeth or get extraction rather suffering.

Visit your dentist at the earliest. Could be an infection in the bone, an xray will determine that.

As per your shared history like there is infection in bone level as well .... Which is about to come out from cheeks side..... Don't neglect it will infect other teeth as well ....
if condition persits more than a month may lead into severe bone infection with fever and may fracture of bone.
Pls nib in the bud itself find a oral and maxillofacial surgeon at the earliest.
