Suggest Treatment For Bump On Gums With Infected Wisdom Tooth

I currently have an infected wisdom tooth that I am on antibiotics for. I saw my dentist today. I'm getting all four of them out on Friday, but by the one that is Infected there is a fluid filled bump on my gum. The entire area is in a TON of pain, and I've been using a salt water rinse after I eat anything. Would I be relieved of some pain if this thing burst?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain is because of the pus secondary to the gum infection over the wisdom tooth, Once it is drained, the pain will come down. If i am your treating doctor, i would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics particularly, amoxicillin and metronidazole combination. Along with this, you can take an analgesic like diclofenac. Get the tooth removed after completing the course of antibiotics.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
