What Causes A Bump In The Gum?
I have an infection in the top of my gum in the inside behind the tooth. I can move the ball which i think is a ball of puss. Ive been taking pennicillin 500 mg for 4 days without any results. Im in terrible pain. I tried sticking a needle to relieve the puss and pain but nothing comes out. No blood or puss! I need help! Im about to grab a pluer and yank my tooth out. My tooth dont hurt but the gum behind my tooth where the ball is hurts. I tried peroxide, salt water, tea bags and nothing works! Please someone help!!!

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This is due to infection in the associated tooth that had spread to the surrounding gums.
I would suggest you to get an x-ray done an root canal treatment is required, bump will be reduced after drainage of pus.
Continue with the course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline nad antiseptic mouthwash gargles.
Take care!
