Need Medication For Swollen Lump & Leaking Of Fluid On The Molar
I have a swollen bump over a molar that leaks clear fluid and some sort of brown substance mixed in. This has been occurring on and off for the past several months. It hurts but it always goes away and I feel better so I have been putting off the dentist, but it reoccurs sometime or later. Any ideas to what it is?

Hello!Gone through your query.
The leaking fluid is pus and the lump is a abscess.
You can take a full course of metronidazole,penicillin and analgesics (make sure you are not allergic to any of these). gargle warm saline water thrice a day.
You must get the treatment done immediately. This can sometime or the other lead to swelling if ignored.
Regards.
