Suggest Treatment For Pericoronitis On Wisdom Teeth
I am travelling in Thailand but have terrible pericoronitis around my impacted wisdom tooth. And I'm taking antibiotics. They are not helping at all. The pain is very bad and the gum is now overlapping the next molar and has gone all white on the end. It's lacerated and hurts so much that I can't eat. Any advice appreciated!!

Be restrictive with your diet, only soft food and no fried stuff. Use a mouth wash like chlohex, listerine or col plax. Do take analgesics to control pain.
