What Is The Treatment For The Swollen Gums And The Discharge With Pungent Smell?

Hi,
I am swollen gums right at the back near the wisdom tooth and it hurts, but the real worrying part is it discharges a liquid that smells horrible. I am really worried. What should be done and how long will it take to get rid of this pungent smell??

Hi,

Thanks for posting the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suppose that are suffering from symptoms of Pericoronitis due to wisdom tooth.
I would suggest you to consult to an Oral Surgeon and get a thorough checkup done get an IOPA radiograph and plan for its removal.
At home maintain a good oral hygiene take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.

Take care!
