Is Puffy Molars And Constant Soft Yellow Stuff Buildup Related To Throat Infection ?
I got all four of my wisdom teeth pulled out about five months ago, however the holes just closed completely recently. Anyhow, I had become severely sick with a throat infection about two weeks ago and now I have puffy molars on the top and bottom right of my mouth, and there is also some soft yellow stuff constantly trying to build up. Do I go to the dentist for this or is it related to the throat infection I recently had?and what should I do about it?

Hello,
As you are mentioning that now there is swelling and yellow discharge is present in the tooth area, it looks like there is some infection still present in that area where pus has formed and now it is forming a sinus.
I think you should visit your dentist again and get an x-ray done of that region which will clear the situation, and you will get a proper treatment.
Thank you.
Regards
