[|Human|] I have had a bottom molar extracted a week ago, due to a large abscess. The extraction site was healing well but now has a red lump in the hole attached to one sid. It also feels like the gum at the same side is bulging out a little. Is there still an infection? What would the red lump be. When i press on it, it goes redder and bleeds. Im not sure if there is any pus as i do not want to press hard on it. What can the lump be?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red lump at the extraction site of a bottom molar which seems to be due to ulceration and gingival laceration due to large force required for extraction and slippage of instrument. Need not worry. I would suggest you to - Maintain complete oral hygiene and avoid sharp and spicy food intake.- You should maintain complete oral hygiene and take antiseptic mouthwash. - Prevent food lodgment in that area.- Take proper course of antibiotics. If it is causing pain take Ibuprofen. I would suggest you to visit oral and maxillofacial surgeon once and get it examined completely. You should go for its removal if it is really troubling you. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
