Hi,
Thanks for writing,

Definitely you have encountered an abscess. Pus shows that the infection is active. The problem does not get fixed with this, the underlying cause of the abscess is still not removed and it might cause problems in future. You will have to visit a dentist and get clinical checkup done so that the exact cause of the abscess could be known and treated.

Moreover a course of antibiotics has to be taken to cure the infection, which your dentist will prescribe. Tylenol is just to reduce pain and manage fever.

In the mean time, continue gargle with warm saline and also use a antiseptic mouthwash 2-3 times a day.

Stay healthy,
Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Tooth pain along with swelling indicates infection of the tooth that had spread to the periapical tissue leading to abscess formation.This abscess is drained in the surrounding leading to periodontal abscess.
If the abscess is drained in the oral cavity leads to nausea, vomitting.
I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the checkup done take an x-ray of the tooth , drainage of abscess is required, treatment of the tooth will be either RCT or extraction this depends upon the radiological report.
Start with the course of antibiotics and analgesics, take tab metrogyl.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, use lukewarm saline nad antiseptic mouthrinses.

Hope this helps out.

Regards..

Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

From what you described I feel that you have an abscess which was draining [ small opening which has pus coming out] and it got burst. Though the boil or abscess has burst you still need to see a dentist. You mentioned you are having pain and swelling too. This wont subside on its own
There is a possibility that you have a decayed tooth or a gum infection which can be ascertained by clinical examination and xray. You may need to start with antibiotics and painkillers.Meanwhile you can rinse with lukewarm saline rinses.

Take Care
