I had a abcess in my mouth above a tooth. I went to the doctor and was put on keflex. The infection came to a point and the abcess ruptured. The swelling and pain have gone but there is a lesion where it ruptured, it almost feels like a hole but its not. Its redish blue in color and quite large. I dont see the dentist until monday and am pretty freaked out. is this normal or or should I be concerned?
