What Could Cause Swollen, Painful Bubble, Oozing Pus Around Wisdom Tooth Which Has Barely Broken Out?

My wisdom tooth has barley broken threw the skin but yesterday it started to hurt really bad and a blister feeling like thing has swelled up over where the tooth should come out at. Today it was worse so I decided to try to pop this bubble and a lot of puss came out it felt better for about 20 mins but it has gone back to the sowlen and bubble it was before. What could this be and how can I ease the pain?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Accrding to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you are suffering with PERICORONITIS due to the wisdom tooth, this area is difficult to clean and often invites bacterial infection leading to pain, swelling and pus formation.

I would suggest yo to consult to a Dentist get a checkup done, take an x-ray, plan for the removal of the tooth.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Take care!
