Hi
With your query, it indicates there is active infection present inth e gums. What have you mentioned might be periodontal abscess and you say you had an extraction if pus is oozing from at that site please consult your dentist.if you a decay tooth then it could be periapical abscess which require either Root canal treatment with filling. Kindly visit your dentist.
