<s>[INST] I had an abscessed tooth removed last Thursday. There is currently no pain at the removal site. However, there is pain at the site where the abscess had formed, between the tooth and the cheek, and I am also now feeling like there is a small lump in thet area. Can you tell me what that lump is. I am still on my antibiotics regime. [/INST] hi..the lump is due to the deposition of pus in that area..evenif your teeth has got removed the pus within the absess has to drain outside.if the lump persist for more than a week,consult your dentist and he will drain the absess.its better to take your antibiotics after draining the absess,orelse it can result in antibioma..hope you get well soon. </s>
