Pus formation in jaw

2017-05-26 11:14:23
Six months ago I was suffering from tooth ache and I went to the dentist and he diagnosed by doing root canal for that teeth. by that time pus was formed at the top of the next teeth. Antibiotics (Droxyclav and paincular- Zerodal P) were given and till date the pus formation is not reduced till now and it is very painful. I am worried for what to do next. Please help me out
