hi about three weeks ago I had a tooth extracted which was infected. the dentist believed it was connected with my sinus cavity.... I have bad teeth and am getting dentures. out of all the teeth being pulled this one developed an absess like bumb right above the socket on my gums its been hurting this whole time the doc put me on a heavy antibiotic but it isnt going away. my dentist cant get me in for a while, and hasnt looked at it what should I do. I have a history of severe  tooth infections resulting in hospitialization
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The bump or growth at the site of extraction could be a socket granuloma. Consult an oral maxillofacial surgeon and get a radiograph done to rule out any residual infection and frontal fistula. If there is infection still you need to get it curetted irrigated with Betadine and saline. If there is a socket granuloma, then it has to be removed surgically.I hope my answer will help you, take care.
