Abcessed tooth extraction?
Keep taking ibuprophin and if it hasn't stopped swelling in about a week, you may need to go back and get on a stronger antibiotic.
Reply:Hard to tell from here. You shouldn't expect to be completely back to normal after only 2 days, and it's also possible that there's still some infection left, or just dead pus that hasn't drained out yet.





At any rate, call your dentist for them to take another look.
