Suggest Treatment For Painful Boil On Inside Of Mouth

I have a boil on the inside of my mouth, on the gum above the upper teeth, It really hurts when touched by anything, hard to eat, and really want it to burst so I can get some relief. Is there a home procedure or do I leave it up to a dentist. It s going on the third day.

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having root abscess formation due to decayed or carious tooth.
Consult dentist and get examined.
A course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days will give improvement.
Treat the cause like decay, cavity in the tooth.
Do antiseptic gargles.
Ok and take care.
