Have a very painful left jaw right at the back where there wisdom teeth are and every once in a while blood and yellow pus comes out?

Abscess: Could be a tooth or gum/bone abscess (infection.) Hard to say without an exam and a x-ray. See a dentist asap

That is a bad sign: You likely have an infection. Please see your dentist ASAP to have this checked.
