Suggest Treatment For Paiful And Swollen Gums

I have a black hollow top molar for a few months. It is extremely painful. Regular pain killers have stopped relieving pain. Is it possible i have an abscess ? The gums are red white and swollen and the glands under my jaw on the same side are swollen and painful too.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have black hole in tooth ,in this condition tooth is carious .

Dont worry as you you are asking about Abscess yes, there can be formation of Pus .

You do is warm salt gargle two - three times a day

Take one capsule amoxicillin 250 mg twice daily for 3 days

Take painkiller one tablet Diclofenac sodium twice daily for days.

Take one capsule vitamin B complex once daily for three days

Consult dentist and go for investigations done IOPA xray if it is Carious and formation of periapical abscess then go for ROOT CANAL TREATMENT.

Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
