Suggest Remedy For Dental Problem

Hi I have had a sore throat type of thing for two weeks, It hurts to swallow I went to the doctor because at first I thought I had mono because my friend has it, I didn't share any food or drinks with her so the doctor said I was fine to just gargle with salt water and take Motrin, that's what I've been doing it's not helping at all, and my wisdom teeth are coming in so that hurts really bad I have tiny white spots around my top wisdom tooth on the right side. I also have red spots on the roof of my mouth all the way in the back. I can't open my jaw all the way it hurts and I feel like I have a bruise on my jawline, I want to get my wisdom teeth pulled because they hurt really bad what should I do and what is wrong with me?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The symptoms described suggests a abscess in relation to the erupting third molar.

I would advice you to continue the motrin and warm saline gargling.Visit your local dentist and get it a radiograph done for its position and get removed if necessary.

You will also need antibiotic including amoxicillin and metrolag (if you are not allergic to any medicine.)Antibiotics can be started with the prescription from your dentist.

Keep the area clean with proper brushing.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
