Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!
I would like to ask something. Under a tooth that became inflamed I had swelling on the jaw for some time, and now a lump has formed... I think it contains pus...
Is this dangerous and is there any medicine for it?
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
I believe you should see a dentist, who will drain the swelling, open the tooth and, if necessary (swollen local lymph nodes, elevated body temperature...), prescribe a systemic antibiotic as well.
Have a nice day!
