What Could Be The Reason For Having Bump Close To Left Canine Which Is Filled With Pus?
For a few months Ive had a boil/bump close to my left cainine. Now it is filled with pus and a second smaller one has appeared. It is occasionally tender, not much comes out and it seems to vary in size from day to day. I have had an apexcectomy in that cainine

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
It is due to presence of infection in the tooth that had drained the abscess in the surrounding tissue leading to formation of bump.
A thorough examination by the Dentist is required also an IOPA radiograph.
Drainage of abscess is required.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
