Hi, I am 25 years old. I have wisdom tooth pain here and then and will be taking it out soon. But recently my cheek around the wisdom tooth is red and have a white spot on it and is very painful. Is this infection? Can I take antibiotics until I get my tooth extracted? Please help this is scaring me a lot.

Hello

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query pain and redness in wisdom tooth can be due to impacted tooth , partially erupted , or carious tooth with periapical or periodontal infection.

For this I wilk suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for treatment extraction of tooth . Inmeantime do warm saline rinses .

You can take medicine like Amoxicillin with metronidazole and analgesic like Paintol by consulting with local doctor.

Hope this will help you.
