What Causes Recurring Boil On Gum?
I'VE BEEN TAKING PENICILIAN FOR1 MONTH FOR A SINUSITIS INFECTION. I'VE DEVELOPED A BOIL ON MY GUMS OVER MY LEFT EYE TOOTH. I KEEP OPENING IT TO GET THE PUS OUT--AND IT KEEPS COMING BACK (I'VE POPPEDD IT OVER A HALF DOZ. TIMES. I WENT TO THE ENT DOCTOR COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ON GUMS. WENT TO THE DENTIST AND THEY SAW THE DRAINAGE AND XRAYED MY TOOTH IS FINE NO INDICATION OF INFECTION? WHAT DO I DO NOW IT WON'T GO AWAY AND IS GETTING SORE?

Hello
Thanks for consulting hcm
Read your query recurring boil on gums can be due to drug incuded or periodontal problem ( inflamation of gums) I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of gums and go for treatment if it is due to periodontal problem go for scaling and curretage .
Inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day . You can apply ointment like Gum paint on sore gums .
Hope this will help you .
