pus coming out of my gums..

[Pcmaker]

so, pus has been coming out of my gums.. and it's one of the teeth holding up my bridge on the front. I went to the dentist, he vacuumed it out, and he gave me 2 prescriptions. Penicillin and chlorhexidine oral rinse. I've been using these as prescribed. I started using them last Tuesday. It's Saturday now and there's still pus coming out. I'm supposed to take penicillin for 7 days. How long does it take for penicillin to work?

Hi.

I'm not sure how long it takes to start working, but it's very important that you take all of the pills. Don't stop until they are all gone or the problem might return later.

I would use some strong listerine. It kills all types of bacteria!
