A member asked:
I had an operculectomy performed wednesday because i had signs of pericoronitis. the sight is still sore and puss is still draining. what should i do?

See the provider.: If there is puss draining, that is a sign of infection. Only a dentist or oral surgeon can determine if there is an infection. You should go back to the treating provider and have it evaluated. It is not uncommon three days out to still have drainage and discomfort. Hopefully you are on or soon will be on an antibiotic.
