How long does the pain and swelling take to go away after being diagnosed with dental emphysema?

Last week I had 2 cavities filled by my dentist and about 2 hours after I left his office I was in horrible pain, I went back later that day for him to examine me and I was told I had dental emphysema. He put me on penecilin for 1 week. So far I still have a lot of pain and swelling, and I have one day left of medicine. Any suggestions?

Call your dentist. The swelling should have gone down by now. So I say go to your dentist.

Emphysema after dental care is caused by introduction of air into the soft tissues during dental treatment. Are you sure he said emphysema? Sounds more like you have pulpitis or a nerve infection..
