Hi all i broke my 2nd molar a while back, on friday i had to get this tooth removed with the current pandemic this was a very awkward scenario.
Today my gumline seems to be swollen, it is swollen around my back tooth, to exert pressure on this released a thin bloody liquid that had a smell. This is painful along the gumline and jawline.
If there are any doctors or dentists amongst us that could quickly give me there opinion on what i should do that would be great!
Do i need antibiotics?
Will this resolve itself by rinsing with salty water?

This covid-19 pandemic has brought the world to a halt, after experiencing some of the difficuilties the lockdown has to offer i realise alot of people must be the same, needing medical advice but finding it hard to source it.

I think it would be great if we could start a thread offering medical advice for people who have medical issues but are struggling to get help.
I would never want to divert or put extra pressure on our amazing health workers at this moment in time but if there are knowledgable people that are bored in isolation your help would be greatly appreciated.

Lets help each another out, share the love brothers and sisters.

I wish everyone luck and to stay safe in these scary times, we are all in this together .

Ps. These pictures are quite gross, i do apologise.
