Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing discomfort. You are describing an infection. A spreading infection is serious and needs attention. This can be detrimental to your overall health. You can take anti-inflammatory medication and rinse the area with wram saltwater. If you apply light pressure and have a pocket of pus release that can reduce pressure. Rinse the area well. Do not try to chew in the area.
You may have a dental clinic in your area or a dental school that would provide care. Your next consideration is to visit an emergency room in a hospital. Antibiotics given by prescription will help control the spread of infection. You will still be referred to a dentist or oral surgeon for an extraction. Please seek attention soon.
