Swelling and pain in the gums around the wisdom tooth is considered to belong to wisdom tooth pericoronitis, which can be treated by maintaining oral hygiene, medication, incision and drainage, and tooth extraction.
1. Maintain oral hygiene: use hydrogen peroxide or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to rinse the blind pocket of wisdom teeth alternately.
2. Medication: oral metronidazole, cotrimoxazole, and if necessary, intramuscular injection of penicillin and other antibiotics for anti-infection treatment.
3. Incision and drainage: If an abscess is formed, incision and drainage of the abscess can be performed under local anesthesia.
4. Extraction: the third molar that is not in the right position to erupt can be extracted as soon as possible after the inflammation subsides; gingivectomy and other measures can also be taken.
It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination first, and the drugs need to be used under the guidance of professional doctors.
