Suggest Medication For Tooth Decay

I have a tooth that is decayed. It s the very far one back on the right side. It feels like a small bubble with fluid in it. I ve had it now for 3 days. It doesn t hurt at all. I had the same problem about 2 months ago and it drained on its own a few days later and now it s the same problem again. I don t understand what it could be.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The decayed tooth might have been infected and resulted in the formation of the abscess(lump). The periapical abscess or periodontal abscess can be treated with RCT or extraction. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph to rule out tooth infection.Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
