[|Human|] Hello, On February 23, 2013 I was assaulted during a party. A guy punch me in the face around the lower jaw area and blood instantly came from under the lower left canine tooth. I didnt think much of it because the area was not swollen nor painful until three days after the incident. I went to a dentist and they took x rays of the area. They said that the root of my 22nd tooth was fractured from the injury and referred me to a oral surgeon. When I went to the oral surgeon they took a panoramic x ray of my mouth/ jaw and they said from the looks of the x ray that the tooth wasnt fractured but the bone surrounding the tooth was fractured (alveolar bone). They consider the injury to be a green-stick fracture, minor and curable by a soft diet and pain medication. For two weeks straight I experienced unbearable pain. I had a clear, sometimes yellow, discharge coming from under the gums of the 22nd tooth. Furthermore, the lower left side of my jaw was swollen badly! During those two weeks I took my medication and had follow up visits to the oral surgeon because I was afraid that the yellowish/ clear discharge was a sign of an oncoming abscess. They told me that since I had a cut around the inner and outer gums of the canine tooth, that food and debris could be getting trapped with the cut and causing the discharge. From their the oral surgeon put me on an oral rinse called Peridex and took me to complete the course of my medication. Three weeks after the initial fracture date, the swelling begin to decrease and a soft lump begin to form around the lower part of my jaw/ chin area Also, a bump begin to form behind the 22nd tooth. Both formation are painless unless I irritate it. It hurts to chew on both the 22nd and 21st tooth. When you tap both of those teeth, it is sensitive. I have tried to burst the pimple like bump behind the tooth but nothing came out but blood. I applied antiseptic rinse to the area after I popped the bump. Also, I applied hot and cold compresses to the lump on my lower jaw/ chin but nothing seems to relieve the swelling. I research possible answer to my symptoms and some of the results I were given were question. Being that my jaw is fractured, the lump on my lower jaw/ chin area could be a soft callus which is a part of the bone healing process. My biggest fear is that the lower is enclosed pus that is leading to an abscess. I REALLY need someones opinion on this because all of the doctors I have went to have given me different diagnosis. If it is an abscess, Which I HOPE IT IS NOT, I need to get it taken care of as soon as possible so my adjacent teeth and jaw bone wont become infected. Please Help
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for asking query, According to your explanation it seems that you have develop abscess in relation to tooth injured during the trauma. It can be the possibility that it has spread to adjacent teeth also. I suggest you to visit dentist get the fresh Iowa and OPG done. Get the root canal treatment done of the affected tooth followed by crown to the particular tooth, abscess should be properly Chat Doctor. Take proper broad spectrum antibiotic and non-steroidal analgesic as prescribed by dentist, gargle with warm saline water 3 to 4 times a day, use antiseptic mouth wash. Hope this will help you.
