Abscess on my face
Common Questions and Answers about Abscess on my face
abscess
A few months ago I had a tooth infection on my lower back molar. I was told I need a root canal and given antibiotics. After the infection cleared up and stopped hurting I forgot about it, with the intention of eventually going back and getting it taken care of. Well now I have a painless lump on the outside gum right below that tooth. It seems to have appeared over night. I thought I felt food in there and noticed it. It feels like a blister but doesn't hurt at all.
I have a bum on my gum on the left side of my face behind the last tooth. Some people are saying it might be a caker sore or an abscess. The bump became bigger and I noticed a white substance inside of the bump. It grew bigger than with the help of hot water and salt it began to drain. First question what is this on my gum? How long does it take to heal? and Should I go to the dentist after it fully heals?
She has swollen glands in the neck and cheek and inner ear pain or the left side of her face. She also has pain on the left side of her face and the left side of her tongue running down her throat. When she touches it, it prickles, like there should be an open cut there. There are swollen bumps on the highest part of her cheek bone. Her glands, ear, tongue, and lip hurt the worst after eating or drinking. Any idea what could be causing this?
It was on a tooth than previously had a root canal performed on it. I was put on antibiotics, but the abscess moved into my cheek and my face became huge. My Endo. was unable to drain the abscess because of where it was located (under my cheek muscle), but went ahead and did the re-do root canal anyway after I was on antibiotics for four days. Presently, he cleaned out the old roots that were missed, but no pus or other type of discharge was cleaned out (I watched the whole thing).
yes the pimple is on the nipple... this morning it's sort of yellowish like if there is something inside it just waiting to pop but it's hurting just like a pimple on my face. but i am scared to pop it. it went down a little it's not that swollen anymore... I am a little confused.

I noticed my dogs face near her cheek is swollen and her neck on the same side is also swollen, its soft in her neck not hard. It wasnt a gradual growth i just notices it last night. Shes acting completly normal shell let me touch it. She does have bad teeth but my vet has never been able to check her mouth for as long as ive had her. I adopted her and she not very nice with other people (we have to muzzle her and sedate her prior to going to the vet).
Any ideas of what could be causing this?

m totally fatigued always, and started these weird habbits like picking scabs on my face and obbsessing over my ingrown tonails, their almost gone from all the picking I do.. could these other things have anything to do with my other problems???? And I'm hoping my tooth will just fall out and it will be done with. how long til this will happen???
I have previously had a lump on this side of my face, but it was dismissed by my dentist and my oral surgeon as a minor swelling/potential abcess (though it was never diagnosed as such and that lump was on the right side of my face but in the middle of the cheek and again, not affiliated with the teeth or jaw). Can anyone advise as to what this may be or give me advise as to what I should do next?
One crazy accident with a camera being dropped on my face, knocking my tooth and chipping it all those years ago, has resulted in a lot of pain, many dentist appts, waving goodbye to large sums of money and still no permanent solution as yet. Oh joy. If only 2009 me knew what I know now, maybe I'd have just had it out straight away. I'd be very interested to know if anyone else has experienced a similar situation and what end result they opted for!
s a constant throbbing pain in the lower left side of my mouth. The left side of my neck and face is puffy, and my glands on the same side are swollen and sore. And now, when I close my mouth, my teeth don't fit together. Also, my jaw is so stiff that I can't open my mouth more than about half an inch. I looked on webmd, and the symptoms seemed to be that of a dental abscess. Do you agree?
Is there anything I can do besides seeing a dentist?
i have a lump on the side of my face ,to me it looks purple. my doctor wants to remove it . im a little scared. i keep getting a feeling that he is going to cut into it ,and its going to start bleeding and not stop. He said there is nothing to worry about . I trust him because i just had a hugh lump removed from my arm. But it's not the same thing, it has a sharp pain that shoots into it. It's not hard like the lump in my arm. Should i be scared, is it just a cyst.
This only numbs the pain slightly and wears off quite quickly. Ive also got a swollen left side of my face and a lump on my gum. I know I need to see a dentist and probably get antibiotics but the problem is its christmas day and I wont be able to seek help for several days - possibly a week or more and I cant cope with this pain. Any advice on what I can do at home in the meantime to make it bearable?
While inspecting out 12 yr old short hair husky cross he noticed a huge swollen bump on her inner thigh. It had a white head on it. He grabbed gauze and popped it, but you can still feel stuff in there and around it is very swollen. she doesn't seem to be in pain. she is rolling around in the grass right now..and she is walking and was swimming just fine. what could this be?
