Abscess: Usually this is due to an abscessed tooth or gum.  See a dentist or your family doctor for an evaluation and possibly antibiotics.

Question 3

a small ball of pus in mouth in right cheek?

Accepted Answer

Dr. should evaluate: A doctor or a dentist can evaluate a problem in the teeth, gums, or cheeks (although a dentist is likely the better choice for teeth and gums problems). Pus in the cheeks usually means some infection, and the doctor may prescribe antibiotics. If the infection spreads, it may go throughout the face, and more seriously, maybe into the sinuses and towards the brain. Getting treatment is wise.

Question 4

do people ever get poisoned from an pus pocket in your mouth?

Accepted Answer

Dental Abscess: The dental abscess can either be coming from a periodontal defect or a non-vital tooth. Both need to be treated before they get worse. In rare instances the infection can travel through your bloodstream to other parts of your body. The sooner you have this problem treated the less chance you will have complications.

Dermatitis: This is some sort of dermatitis. "Break out" suggests you might be worried about cold sores (oral herpes), but that rarely lasts more than 2-3 weeks. See a doctor; discuss with your primary care provider whether s/he wants to see you or refer you to a dermatologist. Good luck.

Question 8

what kind of tumor is it if it is growing in mouth next to the tooth and jaws, but doesn't hurt or have any pus?

Accepted Answer

Tumor?: There is not enough information to diagnose a tumor. How do you know it is a tumor? How long has it been there? Is it hard or soft? Has the jaw enlarged and have the teeth moved? Where is it located in the mouth: front or back, cheek side or tongue side? Please see your dentist or pcp to get these questions answered for a diagnosis.
