Hello sir. There is swelling around a empty socket in right upper jaw. Only root of molar is left (because of rct which was done around 6-7 years ago) that is why I said empty socket. I consulted a dentist in my town and he gave me some antibiotics for 5 days then after eating these medicines the swelling got reduced and vanished. After completing 5 days medicines I visited his clinic and he said that if the swelling comes again then we have to extract that root which is a little bit difficult. This swelling is very random .in a single day at morning there is no swelling and at evening there is swelling. And sometimes there is pain in my right ear. So what should I do?

Dear Lybrate user, the swelling in area and pain in ear may be sign of infection in those remaining pieces of broken tooth. As your doctor says it is better to extract that remaining tooth peices. Or else pain and swelling will keep coming back.
