Gums filled with puss and blood
Patient: Dr one of my aunt,who is 43 yr old often get a boil in her gums filled with puss and blood, if she prick that boil all puss and blood will come out bt after some time again it will be filled. It is nt at all paining and ter is only one boil at the extreme end of the gum in right side with past one yr.She also took some tablets bt nothing happened. Doctor: Hello, Thanks for posting your query.  The pus is developed due to periodontal infection of the associated tooth. A thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation is required to diagnose the disease. Pricking the pus is not a permanent solution . The pus has to be drained thro;drainage and curettage of abscess. Get your teeth cleaned. Maintain good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice daily and rinse your mouth after every meals. Also monitor your blood-sugar level to monitor diabetes mellitus. Include vitamin-c rich fruits into your diet. Take plenty of water and fluids too. Hope this helps.
