See dentist: Infection may be consolidating... if the white pops and drains will taste and smell bad but feel much better. Get to dentist to finish treatment.

It's an infection...: ... but you already know that. The dentist who prescribed those antibiotics for you examined you and knows if the cause is periodontal or endodontic in nature. You should speak to them if you are not getting any better. You may need a different antibiotic and/or an incision and drainage.

Gum infection: Gum disease like gingivitis and periodontitis can cause you to lose teeth, so see your dentist for examination, x-rays and treatment. Do not delay.
