I went to the er 2 days ago for a swollen jaw due to a tooth that needs to be pulled they gave me pain killers and penicillin Im on day two of the penicillin and the pain is near none the swelling gone down some but I did notice when I went into the bathroom pushing on my gum some yellow fluid and blood come out it did not hurt but is it something that I need to rush into a dentist right away or can I finish up my penicillin before getting it pulled?
Hello, I can understand your concern. As you are having an infected tooth, you are having pus accumulation known as abscess in the gum related to that particular tooth. If you press that swelling, only blood and pus is going to come out as swelling is made up of that only (blood and pus) because of the infection Chat Doctor.  You can finish the antibiotic course and do not need to rush to the dentist right away. However, as the source of infection is tooth, the swelling and pain will not completely and permanently resolve until the tooth that is the source of infection is removed. Thus, you do need to visit the dentist for the treatment of tooth either by root canal treatment or by extraction of that tooth depending on the spread of infection. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best,
