How To Get Rid Of Reddish Blue Lesion In Mouth?
I had a abcess in my mouth above a tooth. I went to the doctor and was put on keflex. The infection came to a point and the abcess ruptured. The swelling and pain have gone but there is a lesion where it ruptured, it almost feels like a hole but its not. Its redish blue in color and quite large. I dont see the dentist until monday and am pretty freaked out. is this normal or or should I be concerned?

Hello,
Read your query, as you have abscess in your tooth there is infection in gums and tooth it can be periapical or periodontal infection so for this you should go for proper treatment ,There is nothing to be worried so much this lesion can be sinus opening from where your pus is drained .
I will suggest you to consult your dentist and go for oral examination and investigations IOPA xray or OPG and discuss with your dentist go for Root canal treatment or oral prophylaxis .
In meantime you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Maintain proper oral hygiene, Do betadine mouthrinse .
Hope this will help you.
If you have further query I will be happy to help.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari

Hi
With you query, you would have mentioned the exact lesion.with an assumption that you had it on gingival margin or interdental papilla it could be a gingival abscess which ruptured and left a punched out lesion leaving it like a ulcer.wait and watch fo 2-3 days otherwise Better to visit your dentist if symptoms persist.hope this is helpful
