Bad Tooth Abscess

[always scared]

So I have a bad tooth/nerve abscess and i'm freaking out!! My face and cheek are so swollen :weep:
Started Clindamycin yesterday afternoon and my face is still getting more swollen. I'm so scared that the antibiotics aren't working and i'm going to get sepsis

Have you called the dentist office to have them check it out? Also if you aren’t already, I’d get some probiotics to take with that Clindamycin. Take the probiotic a couple of hours after taking the antibiotic.

antibiotics take maybe 3 days to work so stick with it

I'm trying to stay positive but I still feel like poop :weep: My face is so swollen :scared15: I will definitely stick it out but I'm still so scared it's not working. Its the face swelling that is freaking me out the most. I'm dealing with the pain ok but seeing my face and it feeling so weird is hard to ignore.

Yeah but it is normal in the circumstances
