How Long Should I Take Erythromycin For Root Canal - Swelling And Pain?

Root Canal - swelling and pain? - how long should i take erythromycin for

Hello, I had a sea channel last week, does not bother me to marry you. hurt later, but he began seriously was Advil 800 mg, with Vicoden (extreme pain) - stay off work for 2 days. Dr. called yesterday, when an antibiotic erythromycin 400mg take for me, 3x a day. I took three to yesterday and today.
Well, I reported that the pain improved significantly - but on the cheek / jaw area is swollen .. began to rise yesterday, but today is greater.
How long should I expect that this swelling? Do you think it will deteriorate further, or if you start to fall? Will antibiotics help?

I forgot to mention, it really was not just a "simple" Root Canal, apparently a piece of his record label was discontinued in my toothAnd he had to "aggressively" go after him, took to dig him out .. otherwise I do not think it would go through this .. I knew, sitting in the chair, I would, at extremely painful and there - the height of the trench that they felt that they do .. and I heard that he was "very aggressively" to go after this piece of the file ..

So my main question, begin to heal them, now he's put me on antibiotics? Is this the beginning of the decline in inflation, or worse? "
