[|Human|] i am suffering from a boil in my mouth palate which frequently comes and heals.I has metalic taste, small pus spot is seen and i rinse my mouth with mouth wash or betadine gargle. what is this and what is the treatment for this. Dentist prescribed me amoxicillin.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The boil in the palate can be because of the tooth or gum infection leading to periapical or periodontal abscess formation(collection of pus). The metallic taste can be because of the pus discharge from the infected tooth. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out any tooth infection, 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).  If it is a tooth infection, then get the tooth restored with Root canal treatment or extraction. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
