How long does it take swelling to go down after tooth infection?

I've had tooth infections that cause my cheeks to swell like a chipmunk. If you get the right antibiotic it can be as little as 2 doses - 24 hours for the swelling to go down. Sometimes it can take 3 or 4 doses to go down - about 48 hours. If you have been on an antibiotic for 3 days and there is no change in the swelling, you should call your doctor. You may need a stronger antibiotic or a different class of antibiotics.

It works to help with an infection in your teeth or gums.

No more pain & swelling has gone down in the past few days- Thank Goodness!
