Suggest Treatment For Painful Gum After A Tooth Extraction
Hello. I had a bottom jaw wisdom tooth extracted last thursday. The tooth did not hurt but the gum behind was painful so the dentist decided to extract the tooth. Since that time I have noticed something like a yellow spot on the gum in the area where I was previously getting the pain. I have been treating with peroxide and at times ethanol to stop the pain. What could this be please?

Hello,
It may be due to tooth infection.
For that you may require antibiotics after dentist consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Maintain proper hygiene
Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
