What To Do For The Cure Of Wound That Happened During Wisdom Teeth Surgery?

Hello, I just had my wisdom teeth pulled the other day. During the surgery the stitches when being sewn had cut the bottom right part of my lip where the bottom and top meet. Now there is a fold of skin and when squeezed puss comes out. After giving topical non prescription anti biotic cream. Blood now comes out of the fold but the size of it has not reduced. I am trying very hard to not pick at it but it is incredibly irritating me. A response as soon as possible would be highly appreciated. Thank you Doctor

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

As you have mentioned in the history that pus comes from the wound.Therefore avoid bite or chew over it as it has developed into n abscess.

Do not squeeze it and an ointment for local application is recommended.

Therfore in my view please revisit your dentist and get a course of antibiotic prescribed for the lesion or a locally suitable ointment.

Meanwhile please do not even touch it .you can clean it with normal saline and a wet clean cotton pellet.

This should help.
Thanks.
Take care.
