Suggest Treatment For Pain In Gums And Pus Filled Wounds In Mouth After Tooth Extraction
I am having pain in my mouth after a recent wisdom tooth extraction. My gums are hurting as well as a major headache. Looking into my mouth I see a scab like mush inside each wound, this may be puss I can not tell. The skin around the areas seems to be red and raw. The roof of my mouth also has spider veins running all over it and the skin around it seems discolored.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually this scab which you are mentioning can be because of the wisdom tooth extraction only, as this is a healing socket, so there is nothing to worry about it.
But if it does not heal till 10 -12 days or painful, then you should visit your dentist again for the examination.
Hope it will help you.
