What Causes Swelling In Mouth And Jaws?
Well it happened not to long ago. All day the back of my gum on the right side of my mouth has been swollen and for weeks my jaw on that side has been in so much pain. Well 15 minutes ago, I pressed against the gum and puss started shooting out from my gum. It's feeling better now. Was it an infection?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM As
I have gone through your query, as you have pus discharge from gums dont worry it can be due to periodontal problem . There is formation of periodontal Abscess .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.
Consult dentist and go for oral prophylaxis .
Hope this will help you.
