Hello doctor,I have swelling, pus, and swollen throats. It is hurting while opening and closing the jaw and hurts more during eating, and this is all around my wisdom tooth, and it is causing a lot of pain. Please help.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum. I can understand your concern regarding dental health. The swelling and pain around the wisdom tooth are called pericoronitis, which is very common during the eruption of wisdom tooth and easily treatable by removal of the same tooth as there is no need for it during chewing function. So consult your nearby oral surgeon for clinical examination of the affected area and further treatment as early as possible. Till then, you can take Ibuprofen for temporary relief in pain. I hope this information will be helpful to resolve your query, and further questions are always welcome. I will like to answer them.  IOPA of affected wisdom tooth.
