I noticed since I had my hip rev. in 2020 that my gums were receding at an alarming rate…since then I’ve lost a cap, a filling & have been developing “pus filled blisters” on my tonsils. The 3rd one just popped (exploded) yesterday. It hurt more than just a cough….I didn’t realize it was there until I looked & pus in my mouth & a red irritated spot on my rite tonsil…where all 3 have been…not same spot just same side.
I’m afraid it’s like small pseudo tumors from my old hip. I don’t think there’s any way it can be good. HELP. I don’t know where to go or who to see. It’s not like they’re there all the time so a Dr could see

@sickofbeinsick1 .. How difficult for you! Have you talked to your doctor about the sores in your mouth? Or, do you have a good dentist? They are trained to see all the problems in a mouth. If you don’t have a dentist, look for a general dentist and then ask for a referral to a specialized dentist. You don’t want to wait too long, as mouth sores can be a problem.

This web site by the American Dental Association has some good tips on finding a dentist.
Will you call both your doctor and dentist and explain that you have pus-filled sores in your mouth and need to be seen? Then let me know what they say!
