[|Human|] I never had my molars removed. About a week ago my lower right started hurting a little and has slowly gotten progressively worse. Today the gummed seemed pretty enflamed and sore. Then after my shower I noticed the whole cheek area below the jaw and gum were really hurting. I looked with a flash light and saw some puss and bleeding. Im not sure what is making it infected and what to do next.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the cheek and jaw could be because of the gum or tooth infection. The pus discharge could be secondary to abscess formation. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done like RVG and OPG to rule out infections. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500 mg and metronidazole 400 mg TID for 5 days (if you are not allergic). After completing the course of antibiotics treat the cause of infection, that is treated the infected tooth with root canal treatment or by extracting the tooth. If it is gum infection then get your teeth cleaned once and maintain the oral hygiene. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
