What Does Recurring Puss Filled Bump In Mouth While Having Sinus Infection Mean?

I felt like I had a bit of popcorn in my mouth- I had a look and it looked like a little collie flower pus at the right hand side if my mouth at the back, I gently pushed it and quite a bit of puss came out, after the puss came out I had a deep hole at the back of my mouth. Then a week later I have looked again and I just seen a little bit of puss. I have pushed it again and just a hard bit came first and then little soft after. Please can you advice me what this is? As I m reading things on the internet and I m not sleeping thinking it could be something really bad. I brush my teeth twice a day and I drink a lot of water. I do have a sinus problem though, which I tend to get a lot of colds. Please help

U need to state the exact location where this is happening. Pus coming out.from an opening is from a sinus opening or burst out abscess. This looks like a branchial sinus opening into mouth or a pharyngeal tonsillar lesion opening in mouth. Whatever the case u need to get this solved. Examinations is essential. A CT scan of oropharynx and Neck region needs to be done.

Besides sinus you are likely having chronic tonsillitis. The pus you could push out was debris from the crypts of tonsil. A prolong course of antibiotic , gargles (with providone iodine), decongestants for sinus treatment etc is required. If tonsils are really bad removal by surgery is best.
