How to treat a bump at back of mouth?
Patient: hi on the tooth all the way in the back of my mouth i have a bump the size of a #2 earaser and now my whole mouth hurts and my tonsol hurts please help me Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The pain and bump over the tooth can be a pericoronal abscess, that is collection of the pus below the gums over a wisdom tooth. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.I hope my answer will help you, take care.
