Patient's question:
The baby fell down a month ago and chipped their front teeth. A week ago, the gum of another front tooth swelled, and half of the face became swollen. The doctor at the hospital drained some pus and said that the pulp had already become infected, requiring a root canal. However, since the baby is too young, it wasn't done. Now the swelling in the face has slightly subsided, but the gum is still very swollen. Is it possible that there is still pus inside? Should we go to the hospital again to have it drained?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this situation is generally considered not to have pus again. It is not necessary to go to the hospital to squeeze it again. It is recommended to enhance oral hygiene care. Currently, you can take anti-inflammatory medication orally for 2 to 3 days. Consider getting root canal treatment at the dental clinic when the child is a bit older.
