A member asked:
Is it normal to have more pus pockets appear while on antibotics? i am on day 3 of antiboics and have noticed 2 new pockets
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It is never normal to have pus pockets appear. They represent your body's efforts to rid itself of an unwanted thing (think: splinter). See your dentist for a determination of the source of your complaint (root canal or gums) asap.
