Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat
I had a bump on my wisdom tooth that had not grow in yet . I was playing with the bump and all of a sudden it was gone , I guess I must have swallowed the pus that was inside . Now my throat is so sore , my body aches , and my glands are swollen . What should I do ?

hello
well, it is unlikely that you may have got the infection because of swallowing pus and it may rather be the disease process per se and you will need antibiotics for it. please meet your ent doctor for examination and advice. meanwhile you can start gargling with chlorhexidine mouth wash 2-3 times a day , it will help.
