Hi, I had my wisdom teeth extracted 5 days ago, and most of it is all better except for my bottom right one. It is still swollen and will occasionally ache. What bothers me though is that if I press lightly on that cheek (which is swollen) clear pus and blood ooze from the gums on that side. My dentist isn t open on weekends (and definitely not at this hour). What is it and what should I do?!
Welcome to Chat Doctor, i hope, you have taken your medications properly before and after the extraction. If not, then, it may be the reason for the same. Do not touch the place and avoid eating from that side as well. All these symptoms are showing the infection in progress. Take warm saline gargles or beta-dine gargles. Visit the dentist asap. Thank you
