Also after last time my doctor removed temp tooth for check little bit of pus started coming out from under my gum. Since I noticed it I visited my doc 2 times he gave me ointment , did XRay and assured me that everything if fine. But after 2 weeks little bit of pus keep coming out . What should I do ?
