Answer 1

If you didn't receive an answer from the dentist, you can start by rinsing your mouth thoroughly at least twice a day or after you have eaten. Using a warm salt water solution until you can get into a primary care physician or your family doctor. If you are in pain you should go to the emergency room. Your gums are too close to your glands and the infection could spread to other parts of your body at will from your mouth.

Answer 2

You having a laugh you went to dentist and he didnt tell you what to do? did he not give you a prescription i work in a dentist and thats what usually happens with a follow up appointment go back to him or her ask where the h**l she or he qualified lol

Answer 3

You should call the doctor. It's his job to let you know how to treat anything that may be wrong with your teeth. There are probably things you can try at local drug stores or grocery stores. I suggest calling your doctor though.
