I have an infection of the gums which my dentist has prescribed antibiotics . I recently went for follow up and was taken off the antibiotics. The infection is not fully healed but has stopped releasing pus into my mouth. The dentist said that it is not related to tooth or jaw. Unsure what is causing infection and has referred to oral surgeon. In the interim I have a 7 hour flight in 2 days. Is it safe to fly like this and how likely is it for the infection to start back up immediately. I stopped the antibiotics yesterday.
Hello & welcome information is little short in terms weather whole gums are infected or only there is one segment. Because if infection is in upper gums than this may be related to sinus also, as your dentist is saying that this situation is not related to teeth or jaw. If problem is with whole gums than this may be a periodontal infection & there is no such contraindication for journey. But still before leaving meat your maxillofacial surgeon because any confirmatory statement can be given only after clinical examination. Thanks & take care
