You have to see a dentist as soon as possible, let it get examined by your dentist so that it can be taken care of right away. Don’t take any meds or pills if you're unsure, it may have side effects that might cause more problems than what you have now. See the expert because they know what to do.

If you eye is getting close to being shut, you're going to have to go see a dentist immediately or go to the ER and get it taken care of right away.  It can continue to spread and cause further closing of the eye and can spread to other parts of your face/head.
