[|Human|] Yes, thank you. I had a large molar on the upper left side of my mouth removed last summer.  The endodontist couldnt find anything unusual from the x-ray. He initially ordered a root canal, but the pain continued. Later, I had the tooth extracted. Since then, (six months ago), I have had a constant acidic taste in my mouth where the molar was. It seems to come from the site of the pulled tooth (#14). The acid flows around my mouth, is often thick (like mucus) and is very uncomfortable and painful to the gum tissue.  What would you suggest I do from here?
[|AI|]  Hello, It looks like the area of the tooth extraction is not yet healed and the thick mucus with acidic taste is appearing to be due to pus discharge from the extraction site. You should get an x-ray of the #14 area done to rule out the problem, there is a possibility that any root piece is left in the extraction socket, and it is the cause of lingering infection, pus discharge and pain in gum. For now, you can take antibiotics like Augmenting and if the pain is intolerable, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen medicine. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Do not let food accumulate in that area. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
