[|Human|] Hi, I have a molar 18# pulled or cut out on Monday 5th and now I have a hard lump right unger the area of the pull tooth. The lump is also where #19 would be. 19# was pulled a long time ago but the lump is only where there is no teeth. It stop and drops off suddenly at the wisdom and goes all the way to my canine and drops off again. It dosent hurt with light pressure but if a bump it against something it hurts like hell. Its on the outside of my gum line. I went back to my dentist and they did an xray and found no tooth left. Also the xray didnt show the lump at all. The dentist thinks it an infection and gave a astronger antibodic. Does and one know what might be the name of whats going on?
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. It appears from your history that you have developed an abscess in the region of extraction.Also, the extended swelling could be due to abscess only. As you are already taking antibiotics and analgesics please do not worry, complete the course, it should regress. If the lesion still persists then you can go for oral surgeon s advice after taking a biopsy the exact cause can be diagnosed. So far so good, lets wait and watch. With the change of antibiotics the abscess should resolve.Meanwhile, do warm saline rinses too and maintain good hygiene as speedy recovery measures. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
