What Causes Pus Discharge In The Mouth While Talking?

Today I was with a friend who is a college student in the medical field and brought up a concern that, while we were talking, she could see pus on my mouth that may have been coming from my tongue. She asked me if I was sick and to my knowledge I am not "sick." I have no pain or discomfort anywhere. Could I have an infection that I do not know about?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pus in mouth can be dye to a number of causes like Decayed teeth leading to abscess formation, gum infection, infection in salivary glands etc..
For ruling out the exact cause you need to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray or Oral swab culture can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now do antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Do warm saline gargles..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
