The tooth on the lower right side of my mouth had a filling fall out. It's not a wisdome tooth. It has become infected a couple of times. Recently it was infected. I had sever pain in the tooth, a fever of 102F, and a feeling of being ill. After 1 day, the pain was gone, however my cheek was swollen in the area of the tooth both inside and out. By day 2 the pus had started to leak out from around the tooth, the fever came down, and I felt great again. My problems are, I have no insurance and very little money. Is it okay to take DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE 100mg tablets. Also when can I expect to see some of the swelling go down? Its been 14 days now and again I feel great with no pain or fever.    Also, I am completly aware of how dangerous a bad tooth can be. Is there anyway I can make the swelling go down faster? Something else that my play into effect is i havent been leaving the swelling alone, I do tend to push on it to see if its went down any. I already am using oral gel, salt water, asprin, and ice. Please help me. Corey-
