Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough And Painful Lump On Gum Behind Molar

I have had a slight sinus cold, dry cough and sore throat for the past week. My cough has mostly subsided but now the right side of my throat hurts and there is a swollen painful lump behind my lower right back molar. I had my wisdom teeth out years ago. I think it is correlated with whatever virus i had but not sure if it s somthing i need to be concerned about. Thanks

Hi,
It shows that there might be having some infection in the root of molar tooth or forming root abscess.
Go for one course of antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicine course for 3-5 days.
Ok and take care.
