She gave me some antibiotics to remove infection after 3 weeks she gone remove that tooth but I am scared to remove it but same time I dont want to get any infection to my baby (because of pus and because of medication)So shall take madicine to stop that infection(pus) and wait for removal until baby comes pls suggest me ....
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pus discharge could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (pericoronal infection). Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. But all these procedures has to be done after delivery. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg(if you are not allergic) tid for 5 days. Consult oral physician before taking these medicines. Do not take any radiographs. Do saline gargling and maintain oral hygiene. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
