The wound has been present for around a week or two and majority of the pus is out. Wound is getting better but is still there. When i bite down on that tooth, there is a slight pain and the crown moves (slightly) when i wiggle it around.

The pain is not always present when clenching my jaw but it does hurt when i eat or just randomly.
