I would honestly go to the ER, girl. It sounds to me like you might have some kind of infection. Did you by any change cut it or slam it against something? You could have some kind of injury that got infected. The breathing trouble and the rock hard swelling makes me worried.
Are you finished with the antibiotics?
Call your dentist IMMEDIATELY, and tell them you want an emergency visit TODAY. If you decribe what you have they should take you. If not, go to an emergency room. Do not wait for tomorrow.
In infection in your gum or root canal can spread to other parts of your body and in some cases be fatal.
Take care, and best of luck.
go to the er....!!!! right away. anything that is swelling on your face, or mouth is a huge problem. it can end up inhibiting breathing which you said it already is. doesnt sound like it is getting better either. i would think its a staph infection or something. I had something similair it started in my eye, my whole side of my face swelled up i looked like i had an orange in my cheek. i ended up having to get a steroid shot (prednazone or whatever) thats what thye will give you to get the swelling down. it helps within thirty min usually less. sounds like a bad infection.
things that go wrong with your teeth can affect your heart, as in you can have a heart attack or end up with a heart murmur or worse...so get it checked out
Let us know what happens.
Sounds like you may have an abscess or an infected jawbone. Go to the ER.
Thanks for all the advice guys, really appreciate it! I have everything all taken care of, got put on a ton of antibiotics, and a root canal scheduled for monday :)
