My husband had a cracked tooth next to wisdom tooth.  They pulled both teeth.  He has now ended up with an infection and some of the pus was pushed out of his mouth yesterday (Oral Surgeon said about 5 to 7 cc).  He is on antibiotics and the swelling has come down some.  The face is hard in that area.  Should we be concerned or let the medicine work on it?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The infection can be treated with a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Since the pus is already Chat Doctor.  Nothing to worry about the firmness. Keep rinsing your mouth with saline. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
