Hi, my 17 year old daughter has a hard painful bump where her last molar used to be. She had the molar removed about a year ago because it was infected. We just went to the dentist however and it wasn t her wisdom teeth . The dentist aren t sure and she has to see an oral surgeon. Do you have any idea what the bump could be?
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to ask you whether you have any pus discharge from that swelling?? That bump shows there is abscess formation in that teeth. It can be due to infection in last tooth or may be due to impacted wisdom tooth. For getting proper treatment you need to get it properly ruled out by getting an IOP AR done of that region.Meanwhile, you can start with Zerodol-SP thrice a day along with Novaclox-LB twice a day for three days. Also do warm saline rinses twice a day. Take Care Regards Chat Doctor.
