How To Stop Pus Coming Out From Palatoglossal Fold?

I have offensive smelling hard like pus that seems to be coming out from underneath the palatoglossal fold. I can scrap it off. It is non tender. When I lift back the fold I can see more built up under there, what is it?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pus discharge could be from an infected tonsil or infected wisdom tooth. Consult a oral physician to rule out the cause. If it is arising from the wisdom tooth, then it has to be treated with operculectomy or extraction. If it is tonsillar abscess then you can take a course of antibiotics.
For both of these conditions i would like to suggest you to 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.
