Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms you are suffering from Infection in the gums leading to pus formation..
You can apply Metrogyl gel but the Saliva should be spitted out..
As you want advice I would like to tell you that only application of the antimicrobial gel is not enough and you should consult a Dentist and get evaluated and get a thorough Scaling done followed by antibiotics and painkillers and application of antimicrobial paste and mouthwash..
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily for 15 days..
Do warm saline gargles..

Hope this information helps..
