Suggest Remedy For Swollen Gums And Jaws
Hi I have had a absces that drained on its own . It s been 24hrs and my gums and jaw are still swollen and tight. My gums have turned yellow around the tooth where it drained. I want to know if this is normal or not. It feels much better but jaw bone and gums are still hard and swollen around the area.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
In case of pus discharge and fowl smelling from mouth you should visit dentist to routine checkup and initiate the treatment. Gums are the most sensitive place and if infection spreads it may lead to some serious trouble.
Any abscess in mouth cavity is to be checked and treated properly.
Presence of swelling is sign that infection is present.
Hope this is clear to you
Thanks
