Why Bulges Of Gum Bleeding After Tooth Removal And Will Antibiotics Help?
I had a tooth removed 2 weeks ago, everything was fine but now I have bulges of gum that bleed when touched sticking out of the hole. Is it an infection because my dentist gave me a precription of antibiotics should I need it. Will it clear up from using antibiotics?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This bulge of gums looks that it is a sinus opening, which has occured because of infection only.
It can be possible that some part of root might be left after removal of tooth. Better you continue with the antibiotics and if the infection is of low grade it will heal on antibiotic, otherwise you have to go for removal of infected part.
Hope it will help you.
