Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Swelling and formation of pus indicates bacterial infection that had spread to the periapical tissue leading to formation of abscesses .

You take complete rest ,
use saline gargles 3-4 times a day , use antiseptic mouthwash rinses like chlorhexidine or betadine twice daily this will prevent infection and promote healing.

Take tab dolonex TDS for pain relief .
Apply metrogyl oral ointment topically over the affected area .
Maintain a good oral hygiene , avoid eating hot and spicy food , eat soft diet.

You can visit your Dentist and get the checkup done ,
Take an x-ray of the affected region to know whether there is any left over tooth particle and the condition of the periapical tissues .

Hope this helps out.

Regards.....

Hello and welcome to hcm forum,

The extracted socket may contain pus and abscess within it resulting in dry socket .
Frequent warm saline rinse may be helpful.
Also irrigate the socket using betadine and sodium hypochlorite solution.
rinse your mouth after every mEALS.
Maintain good oral hygiene.
Take complete course of medicines prescribed.
use chlorhexidine mouthrinse to gargle.
hope this helps.

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Do not worry if your dentist has examined thoroughly and suspects pus in your oral cavity then she must have drained them too.Any pus anywhere in oral cavity should be drained well before further treatment.

Also you have already started with your antibiotic dosage due to heart murmur,so even if there is any infection and pus remaining, your sufficient dosage of antibiotic will help in this case.

just take your medication properly in this case.

Now the blister that you would have seen could be pitting edema(swelling after extraction which generally occurs).

For pain relief you can consult your physician and take suitable analgesics for three to five days.

I hope the symptoms should subside within five days, if not then you need to visit your dentist for follow up.

meanwhile take all precautions and due care for post extraction healing.

Take good nutritious and semisolid diet, and relax you will be fine soon.
take care.

hello there ,

your history suggests you have got extraction of the teeth done, which were under infection and draining pus.

In such condition , if the teeth are infected and pus filled ,after extraction the socket needs to be curretted thoroughly to remove all the abscess and the infected tissue and compressed in position for normal healing.

i would suggest you to follow the post extraction instructions given by your dentist strictly to prevent any infection or dry socket.

continue to course of antibiotic and analgesics for 5 to 7 days to prevent infection and fasten healing.

Appearence of blisters can be reactionary and will subside with time, use lukewarm saline water for mouth gargling regularly.

i hope this information helps ,

take care.
