Sore on the wisdom teeth gum
Hello Doctor,
I am 23 years old. I have a sore or swollen gum on the right wisdom teeth's gum. It has been there from last 2 days. It causes mild pain especially when touched or otherwise, discomfort in normal. Could you please check the attached picture and let me know what's that ? I don't do any kind of smoking, tobacco or anything else.
I am little bit scared to see such thing there.
Please check and advise what should i do to cure it.
Thank you.

Hi, looks like a wisdom tooth is erupting. This is a bite, get a dental x-ray done to confirm. Do warm saline rinses (3-4 times a day). Take soft diet. Use an antibiotic ointment.
