Have Discharge From Gums. Had Wisdom Teeth Removed. What Is The Fluid Discharge?

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

According to your clinical symptoms i suspect that you have developed an abscess in one of your healing socket, this can be due to food lodgement or there could be a chance of some root piece left in the socket to rule out this you need to visit the concerned Dentist and take an x-ray. If present it can be removed surgically.
Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take complete course of antibiotics and analgesics.
Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this helps out.

Regards...

Hi autmnallen,
Thanks for choosing health care magic forum,
From the details provided,its clear that your wisdom tooth extracted socket has not healed and developed dry socket as well as abscess.
I would advice you to gargle frequently using warm saline and betadine.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Take complete course of antibiotics.
The socket has to be curetted well by your dentist.
Dressing the socket using povidine iodine may enhance wound healing.
Avoid food lodgement in the socket.
Hope this helps.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

Extraction of wisdom tooth often ends with complications like pain, infection and swelling post extraction.

usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection .

In your case since the extraction was done in april , i suspect teh extraction wound has undergone infection leading to formation of abscess.

This type of abscess drains in the oral cavity and may lead to nausea and vomiting.

The abscess needs to be drained and compressed in position and then followed by a course of antibiotic and analgesic will subside the symptoms.

i would suggest you to start with a antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist.

follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse.

i hope this helps ,

take care.
