Will The Puss Pocket In Mouth Related To Other Pockets In Neck?

My 6 year old granddaughter was hospitalized for a week last March and was diagnosed with two pus pockets, one in the front of her neck and one in the back. The one in the back was cleared up with a week long IV regiment of antibiotics, but she had to have surgery in order to suck out the puss in the one on the front of her neck. Now, it appears she has a puss pocket inside her mouth, just above her incisor tooth. A dentist says it is related to a tooth, but I want to know if it can be related to her other puss pockets?????

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Don't worry. It seems to be due to secondary infection of the upper incisor roots and not an extension of previous pockets of pus. It needs a dentist to completely evaluated the involvement of upper jaw and treat accordingly.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
