Hi I have been diagnosed with tonsillitis and given penicillin. During the illness my gums became red and swollen. They are now very sore and if I press down on the gum, pus and blood come out the sides onto my teeth. Please help, it is stopping me from eating properly and extremely painful.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The tonsillitis and the pus discharge from the gums can be two separate entities or the consular abscess may be Chat Doctor.  Nothing to worry, Along with penicillin you take metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). If there is gum or tooth infection around the wisdom tooth get the tooth removed. If it is because of consular abscess it should come down after taking antibiotics. If it does not subside then consult an oral physician. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
