Additional question to number 197. The tooth no longer hurts at all. However, if I press near the gum, a little pus still appears. Can this problem be solved with an antibiotic, which one, how long should it be taken, and is this a permanent solution? If possible, I would appreciate a quick answer. Thank you very much.
Kind regards, Leo

Dear Leo!
Using an antibiotic is usually an emergency solution. The problem is most often treated by repeating the root-canal treatment, performing an apicoectomy, or extracting the tooth.
Have a nice day!
