<s>[INST] I am a 24 year old female, 5 10 , 175 lb. I have a good medical history. I just had a baby 6 weeks ago. My problem is a boil on my gums. It is right below my wisdom tooth, with is only partially out of the gums. The whole left side of my face is swollen and is warm. I also have a headache. It hurts extremely bad, and I don t know if I will be able to get an appointment at the local dentists office tomorrow. What should I do in the mean time? [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The boil on the gums could be a periodontal abscess leading to cellulitis(pus formation). In this condition you might get pain, swelling and limited mouth opening. Consult an oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out the infection and amount of space available for the tooth to erupt. If no space is available then get the tooth removed. You can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and analgesics. Do saline gargling. I hope my answer will help you. Take care. </s>
