Swollen Gum With Pus Posted: 05-25-05 15:47pm
Hi. I hope someone could help me remedy
this problem i'm having. It has been 2
weeks since my right lower back part of
gum covering 4 teeth from the wisdom tooth
became swollen. I tried to gently rub a
clean finger onto the gum, and saw that
there was a small amopunt of pus. I tried
to gargle with bactidol, but the swell is
still here. Though, I don't get pus
anymore. Aside from going to the dentist,
how can I remedy this on my own? Can I
take antibiotics of some sort or other
powerful oral care gargle? Please help.
This is urgent!!!

Sounds like an abcess.. Which is an
infection in the gums. Unless it clears
up in the next day or two, you will
probably need antibiotics for sure,
especially to make sure the infection does
not spread.

You'll need some anti-biotics to clear it
up.

With how much you don't want to go to the
dentist, it is only the logical thing to
do, you don't want your teeth to fall out
due to major infection. Good luck!

I agree with the other posters from above,
if you do not get this problem taken care
of soon it can spread and cause you to
start to lose your teeth.
Good luck!

I agree with that, go to your dentist and
have them check it out otherwise.
