Does Severe Pain Below The Area Of Growing Wisdom Teeth Suggest Canker Sores?
I think im getting a canker sore or already have it. My two wisdom teeth are growing in at the bottom and it hurt so bad. It hurt and burn to eat and drink especially the simplest things like warm water. I won t be able to see my doctor until Monday office closed for the holidays.

Hi,
From history it seems that due to eruption of wisdom teeth a flap of mucous membrane forms a pocket between teeth and mucous membrane.
There might be having some infection in this pocket due to trapping of food in the pocket.
Go for regular gargling so that collected food particles come out.
If require go for one antibiotic medicine for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
