What should I do for constant, severe pain and swelling on the left side of my face near my wisdom tooth that makes it hard to eat, swallow, and talk, especially since the painkiller Combiflam only provided temporary relief?
Because you are having difficulty swallowing and talking, and Combiflam?which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol?is only offering temporary relief, it is very important that you see a dentist or doctor urgently. These symptoms suggest a deep infection near your wisdom tooth that needs professional evaluation and treatment, possibly including prescription antibiotics. For temporary relief until your appointment, you may continue taking ibuprofen and paracetamol as directed, and gently rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Please seek professional care today so you can get the proper relief you need.
