Suggest Remedy For Gum Problems

I am 18 years old and just a little over a week ago I had gotten my Wisdom teeth removed. Now I had no problems until now. When I eat(or any kind of movement) on the bottom right side, this gross smell/taste comes out of the gum area. Now when that happened I tired to spit the puss out, but there was none. Also the gum does not look swollen nor does it look infected. It does have a throbbing pain that is bareable though. I have no Idea what this could be.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have gross smell from gum this can be due to poor oral hygiene , decayed tooth , periodontal problem , gingival problem , carious tooth present in lower right side of arch .
For this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination of oral cavity and if needed go for investigations IOPA xray of tooth if there is carious tooth , decayed tooth then go for Root canal treatment or extraction , if it is due to Abscess formation in gums then you can discuss with your dentist and go for Scaling and Curretege of tooth .
In meantine you can do warm saline gargle two - three times a day, you can apply Stolin gum paint on gums .

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards ,
