so this last week i notice a pocket of pus on my gum. i haven’t felt any pain at all. i went to the dentist and he said i had a bad infection. he did not drain the abscess but had only put me on antibiotics. so i still have the huge pocket of pus on my gum. I’m three days into the antibiotics. and i am worried that the fact he didn’t drain it, it will not go away even with antibiotics. but i honestly don’t know and i hope someone on here can help me… will the large pimple go away with taking antibiotics? will it pop on its own? or will it just keep spreading?
Hi I have just had surgery for the same complaint. If it has not burst by the end of the antibiotics
return to dentist he will sort it.
As the pocket builds the pain will start to go away, and then pop the pain is gone but infection is live and in person in your mouth. Just use lots of mouthwash when this happens.
