Approximately 2 weeks ago I began experiencing pain in the bottom rear of my mouth. I thought it was a tooth problem so I went to a dentist, he prescribed antibiotics and advised it wasn't a tooth problem but possibly an obstructed salivary gland. After 2 days and no relief with a great deal of swelling and pain on one side of my face I went to oral surgeon who "milked" the salivary gland and prescribed different antibiotics. I have been on anitbiotics for a week and still have swelling and great deal of pain. Does anyone have similiar symptoms and can advise what I can do to control swelling, etc.
