My mom is having this oosing white liquid coming out of her gums behind her top front teeth . It is bitter and salty tasting and her whole mouth is in alot of pain. She just had her teeth cleaned so there are no infections in her teeth. This begain when she started taking a thyroid medicine she has stopped taking it and her gums are still oosing and in alot of pain. Do you know what this is?
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Pus discharge from the gums can be because of bacterial infections of the gums and surrounding tissues leading to abscess formation, this can also be because of tooth infection .  Chat Doctor.  It is aggravated by poor oral hygiene plague and calculus deposition , systemic conditions like diabetes , hormonal disorders, use of certain medications. Visit to the Dentist and get a checkup done. Take an OPG x-ray. Get complete mouth scaling and polishing done. Use saline water gargles 3-4 times a day it will give a soothing effect. Apply metro oral ointment topically over the affected area. Hope this helps out. Regards.
