please help! stared oil pulling for tooth pain, now my gum above tooth has puss coming out

sounds like an infection,I would go to the dentist.

Its drawing the infection out. But please see a dentist. Tooth problems need to be dealt with asap.

You need an antibiotic- rinse with hydrogen peroxide and water and swish w/coconut oil. Or you can rinse with salt water- but the hydrogen peroxide will make the pus drain, the coconut oil is good at fighting infections. At least I did that and it worked- took amoxicillin, too.

Puss out is a good thing. Infection was caused by damage that can only be fixed by a dentist. Rinse with warm salt water to disinfect

You can rub tea tree oil on your gums. That is really good for infections.

I'm also feeling short of breath and feel like I'm going to faint and my heart feels like it's struggling to keep up when doing moderate physical activity and I went to the gym a lot

today I could not finish because of shortness of breath and I got worried

is this because of the puss? did the coconut oil clog many lungs? I might have swollowed a marginal amount

If you can't get to a dentist or can't afford one then you can also use colloidal silver. It is a very good antibiotic. Swish with it and swallow it. Always make sure after taking any antibiotics to eat yogurt or get a probiotic.

The infection is causing pressure on the nerve that's what causes the pain.. drain the infection stop the pain.. A dentist won't even pull an infected tooth until you've had a course of Antibiotics..

Keep the drain going if possible.. keep swishing with alcohol, or strong solution of salt water.. Take anti inflammatory pain medication.. Get to the dentist Monday morning..

Go to a dentist you doofus.

If you feel like you are going to faint then I would suggest getting yourself to an emergency room. Call someone if you can't drive. And the oil would not cause this. It must be from the infection. So get going.

dude not to scare you but a bad abscess or tooth infection can cause blood poisoning. Why its very important to see a doc for it.

You need antibiotics ASAP! Like tonight! Go to the ER if you can't see your doctor.

I know of someone that dropped dead from abscessed tooth, the infection went into the blood stream and to his heart. He dropped dead while mowing his grass.

This is serious, not something to take lightly.

I hope OP is on the way there.

You have an abscess. Left untreated, it can kill you! See a dentist. Home remedies are fine to try, but this is literally life or death. Don't be a dumbass.

THIS, THIS, THIS!!!! Please do NOT fool around with this. The coconut oil drew out the the pus for you, giving you an early enough warning to fix this problem with your infected tooth. Please don't wait, get to the ER right now, if no walk in center is open right now.

get that meth stubb pulled out and swish some tcp round ya stubbs then just hit the pipe , thatle sort it

Calendula Tincture! Put it on a cotton ball and place it in between your teeth where it hurts. Hold it there for 5 minutes and do it a few times a day.
Most effective solution I've found for my cavity that gets infected sometimes when I'm too lazy to brush or gorge myself on a package of cookies.

Coconut oil, hydrogen peroxide, and swishing with saltwater are all helpful.

Colloidal silver is supposed to be to.

Are you nuts? Pus coming out of your gums for Christ's sake!
Wanna DIE from septicemia? Then DON'T get to a dentist... geez....

seriously this person needs to go to the ER stat. They could have septicemia tincture packs or silver don't save you from a severe infection.

So many people start these kind of posts and never return to update us whether they are ok or what they did.
