So a few days ago, I had this horrible painful feeling on the left side of my mouth. It radiated all the way to my cheeks, my head, my neck, and until now it does that constantly. I have been feeling generally unwell (and my health anxiety is just making it worse). So I went to a dentist and had my teeth examined. He did an X-ray on me and found out there is pus building on the bottom left pocket right on my wisdom tooth. The dentists cleaned it and scheduled me on another day to get it cleaned and possibly drained. He also gave me antibiotics and some painkillers.
Now, the pus has not erupted but the symptoms still remain. I asked the dentist about it but he says that the symptoms has nothing to do with the pus in my gums. Imagine the scare that gave me because it would mean that I had something else going on aside from that thing.
I don't know anything about dental problems and what they do to your body so if anyone has any experience having pus or an abscess on their gums, can you please enlighten me because I feel horrible and it's not just because of these symptoms. My anxiety has been getting worse that it's the one keeping me up at night and not the pain inside my mouth.
