Hi.
As per your chief complaint, there seems to be a dental abscess (infection in the root/s ) w.r.t the concerned tooth.
You must commence with a course of antibiotic along with the Hifenec P.
Antibiotic will prevent the spread of infection (swelling) any further . Any antibiotic of your choice is advisable.
The safest in most cases being Amoxicillin.

Tab Hifenac P - only in case of pain.
Next Steps
Visit a dental office at your earliest.
Health Tips
