How to treat infraorbital space infection

Infection of the infraorbital space can be divided into different stages. In the early stage, systemic antibiotics should be applied, and topical herbs can also be applied locally, while the infected lesion teeth should be treated. If the inflammation is not effectively controlled and continues to develop to form an abscess, incision and drainage should be performed promptly. The incision is usually made at the mucosal turn in the area of the upper anterior teeth in the mouth and is usually flushed with saline and left with drainage strips. The infraorbital space is located below the orbit and most infraorbital space infections are due to septic inflammation of the apices of the maxillary anterior teeth or premolars. Infection of the infraorbital space often spreads to the inferior orbital area, which will show redness and edema of the skin, and abscess formation will create a distinct waviness in the inferior orbital area. The vestibular sulcus in the area of the upper anterior teeth in the mouth is often significantly swollen, more painful on pressure, and easily palpable by the patient with a fluctuating sensation.
