[|Human|] hi doctor, i feel this pain inside my mouth just where the wisdom tooth is supposed to be and when i feel the area with my toque it feels like there s sores on the gum and cheek and also the gums are swollen. i have been told by a couple of people that the symptoms sounds like an apsis
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain, swelling can be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (periodontal infection leading to space infection). Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed. If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed. Meanwhile you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic)50 mg. Along with an analgesics like diclofenac 50 mg BID. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
