Recurring Lump Inside On Top Of The Mouth With Bad Odor & Pus From One Of The Gums And At Times From Night Nostril. What Is It?

Hi Doc. My name is Samuel. Im 21 years old and I have a anerobic infection if im not mistaken, for quite some time now and Im starting to get concerned because it wont go away.

" I have this lump inside on top of the mouth that can be squeezed out and bad odor smell along with 'pus' I believe comes out from one of my tooth gums."

I hope I explained it right & you will tell me some possible treatmemt/cure for the infection.

I had visited the Dentist before and I got some antibiotics and the lump along with the puss & odor disappeared for a while. - But now its back.

Sometimes the puss/odor comes out through my right nostril.

Best regards,
Samuel

hello sam, i think u must be either having a periapical abscess or an periodontal abscess,, i would suggest you get emergency treatment including an incision and drainage, since antibiotics are not working?? i would suggest u visit your local dentist for the same,,,home remedies include salt water (luke warm) and betadine gargle along with ur continuation of the antibiotics and analgesics if it was quite some time since u took the medication, go asap to visit r dentist..hope it helps..thanks of consulting hcm...
