During pregnancy, women are more susceptible to illness due to their weakened immune system. It is important to seek medical attention promptly and avoid self medication. Some women may experience gum bleeding and even pus discharge during pregnancy. So, how to treat gum bleeding and pus discharge in pregnant women?
If pregnant women have gum bleeding and pus discharge, they need to go to a dental hospital for deep scraping treatment. After treatment, they should also use hydrogen peroxide to clean and take oral anti-inflammatory drugs. Due to the special period of pregnancy, it is necessary to choose drugs that are harmless to the fetus, such as penicillin and cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs.
When gum bleeding and pus discharge occur, pain symptoms are usually accompanied, and hot and cold compresses can be applied at this time. Hot compress can relieve pain, while cold compress effectively eliminates swelling. Everyone should apply the compress on their face, not directly on their gums, to avoid gum irritation caused by sudden temperature changes.
Generally speaking, bleeding and pus discharge from the gums of pregnant women may be caused by inadequate oral hygiene. So after treatment, everyone should use the correct method to brush their teeth, and brush their teeth at least twice a day. If possible, brushing after meals would be even better. In addition, when necessary, everyone needs to use dental floss once a day, which can completely remove the gaps between teeth that cannot be reached by the toothbrush.
