Hi..
Welcome to HCM..

As per your complain it seems that your son has a dental abscess due to a deeply decayed tooth and as it is appearing that it has started draining and releasing pus inside the mouth that you son keeps spitting..

Due to rotting or decaying of teeth, when the decay progresses below the root tips of the teeth there is pus formation and at times the pus perforates the bone and accumulates below the gums and at times there is an opening formed on the surface leading to pus discharge..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician or a Paediatric Dentist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and x ray can help in diagnosis..

In case if there is a deeply decayed tooth then Root Canal Treatment or Pulpectomy can be done followed by a course of antibiotics and painkillers.
At times Incision and Drainage can be advised.

Hope this helps..

Regards..
