Swollen Gums Covering The Wisdom Tooth. Pain And Pus Are Evident. On Ibprofin. Measure To Reduce Swelling?
My back right wisdom tooth has been coming in for the past few month. It hasn't really bothered me until now. It's very swollen my gums are covering it and my cheek is swollen I've been taking ibprofin for painkillers and doing the salt water rinse but this morning I woke up to a lot of pain and my gums on the tooth infront of wisdom tooth was very swollen and pus and blood came out of it I need to know where I should go from here and what I should do? Is there anything to keep the swelling down and get all the pus out or should I go to the emergency room?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the platform of Health care Magic.
Impacted, infected wisdom tooth is your diagnosis.
Either it has to be extracted or tissue covering the tooth has to be incised so that it can come out without obstruction.
Analgesic and antiinflammatory drug along with complete course of relevant antibiotic will relieve your symptoms and prepare the area for safe extraction.
Some analgesic and antiseptic mouth wash will also help a lot.
Hope the query is answered
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you have developed infection around the wisdom tooth known as PERICORONITIS.
Best treatment for pericoronitis is extraction of wisdom tooth.
I would suggest you to visit to an Oral surgeon and get a thorough checkup done take an OPG radiograph of the region and plan for the removal.
At home start with the course of antibiotics and analgesics under the prescription of your Dentist.
Take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Avoid eating of hot and spicy foodstuffs.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Regards..
