Hi, From history it appears that you might be having infected molar and now apical abscess is forming. There is a possibility of having gingivitis as well. These can be very well judged by clinical examination only. Consult your dentist and get examined. One course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines will give you relief. Do antiseptic gargles. Ok and take care.
hi I understand your pain take amoxiclav(antibiotic)hifenac D(pain killer)zintac take warm saline solution or mouthwash frequently maintain your oral hygiene i hope this information is useful for you
After reading your history it appears that you have an impacted wisdom tooth.There could be infection around the growing wisdom teeth.
you can approach your dentist for a small dental x ray called as IOPA.Then if required you can go for removal of wisdom teeth.wisdom teeth is considered vestigial organ.
Therefore it is best to get it extracted without hesitation.
Meanwhile do warm saline rinses and start antibiotics and analgesics upon consultation.
According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you have developed infection around your wisdom tooth known as PERICORONITIS. I would suggest you to visit to an Oral Surgeon and get the thorough checkup done, take an OPG radiograph of the region and plan for the removal of the tooth. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics under the prescription of your Dentist. At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Regards...
