Swollen gums - infection possibly from wisdom tooth and now rash on face and neck!?

I have really sore painful gums around the area in which I am cutting a wisdom tooth.

I went to the dentist and she said I had an infection and gave me some antibiotics.

I now have a red rash around the bottom of my face, jaw and neck. It's really itchy!

This rash started before I got the antibiotics so it is NOT an allergic reaction.

Any ideas?

Related to the gum infection maybe or is this something else entirely?

    Most likely the rash is totally unrelated.

    However, such condition may get worse when you take antibiotics.

    The best thing will be to get in touch with both your medical doctor and the dentist.

    Get thorough evaluation done as soon as possible.
