Infections in the jaw can last for years, since there is very little blood flow to the area, and that prevents the antibiotics from being effective. My own grandmother had such an infection for years, until finally she had them surgically remove that part of her jawbone, disfiguring her for life, which broke her heart, having kids in the market scared looking at her.

All medical care is undertaken at your own risk, including having that bone removed to get rid of infection. If you think anyone else is responsible, good luck with that. I have found that almost no one wants to be responsible for my medical care- to the point that some normal thing like a dog bite on the hand, required the doc to give all kinds of disclaimers- what a bunch of baloney. It may be the litigious nature of society these days, or that people want SOMEONE ELSE to be responsible for what happens to them.

Many people on the internet lists have had similar or worse experiences at the hands of the medical profession, and find that they may like to seek medical advice, and then seek other's experiences with like situations, so they can decide for themselves what they decide to do about it.

I'll get down off my soap box now.

Again, one needs to be very careful, and seek medical advice. In the absence of that (or in the presence of the poor service you have gotten thus far) bloodroot tincture soaked into a cotton ball and applied to the infection will go deep into the site and destroy diseased tissue.

One must protect normal tissue from the bloodroot with whatever kind of barrier will work. (In a pinch, a wad of chewed gum will work.)

The results of bloodroot penetrating deep into the body can be a visual shock; conceivably the impacted wisdom tooth and root could be exposed. Again, whatever list members do without medical supervision is undertaken at one's own risk, and again, infections above the neck can be deadly, according to my reading.
