Today I woke with visible swelling along one side of my jaw, and my jaw and tongue on that side were a bit numb.
Went to the dentist for an emergency visit and to get a prescription for some antibiotics - they can't see me until tomorrow.
Went to a CVS to see if their 'minute clinic' could prescribe some antibiotics. Nope, they don't do anything related to dental which apparently includes prescribing antibiotics for a dental issue.
Went to an emergency clinic. My insurance is out of network so it would cost me around $250 just to get a prescription for antibiotics.
Guess I'm waiting until tomorrow.

Do you otherwise have good gum health and teeth?
How about some good quality c-vitamin? more beneficial than throwing away $250 on antibiotics. I would seriously think twice going that route.
See what happens with 5 gram of GOOD quality c-vitamin. If you truly have an infection it would show itself in other parts of your body like fatigue etc.
Are you fatigue or any other symptoms?
