How To Cure Cyst On The Gum With Yellowish Discharge?

hi,i suspect i have dental cyst on my gums.2 weeks ago,i had an extraction,the dentist said that the tooth did not break so there isn't any part of that tooth still in my gums(it's a baby tooth without any adult tooth)
the next day,my gums beside the extracted tooth became swollen.A few days later,i found a bump on the gum.I used my tongue to push it and yellowish liquid came out of the healing area(the place of extracted tooth was covering up)so should i continue pushing it so it can recover?(normally people say that for a cyst to heal,the substance inside have to be pushed out)or i have to consult a dentist?I need a answer as soon as possible because i am going to see my dentist to put on braces on tuesday.Thank You

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually this bump with yellowish discharge means it is an abscess filled with pus, this abscess forms when there is infection, so better to visit your dentist again and get an x - ray of that area where the bump is, it will show clearly the infection.
Hope it will help you.
