You won't get any oak. Treat with antiseptics - you can rinse your mouth with the same things you use for a sore throat during a cold (salt, baking soda, chlorhexidine, miramistin, chamomile, etc.). There's also Metrogyl gel, often used to treat gums for various inflammations like abscesses, stomatitis, etc. You can take regular pain relievers. I sympathize, it can definitely hurt, then it might pass; if things get really bad, antibiotics are prescribed, but if you catch it in time, you might manage without them. Sometimes the gum is lanced, and sometimes it opens on its own, pus comes out, and it heals, or it doesn't even get to that point—the inflammation just subsides without pus. By the way, since you're writing here, you have internet. So what's stopping you from googling how to treat an abscess?

There's no need to vacation abroad. I'm currently in Sochi with my friend. She had the same issue—we went to a good doctor on recommendation, got everything done for a small amount, and now we're relaxing peacefully.

First aid is help that's right at your fingertips. Your urine—rinse your gums and mouth with it. You won't believe it, but everything will heal. I did this back in the 90s when we went on hikes deep into the forest. My camp counselor taught me. I still remember it, and I didn't die from it. Give it a try—it's not like you're going to drink it.

That's the thing - I did google it, and every other time you come across terrifying promises that you won't last much longer and urgently need a doctor (maybe I'm exaggerating, but that's what stuck with me). Of course, I did pick up a couple of useful tips about rinses and antibiotics (luckily I have them with me), but I got pretty scared, honestly.
That's why I wanted to hear an additional opinion.
Thank you for your answer)

With a dental abscess, antibiotics can reduce the inflammation and you might avoid surgery. My husband dislikes doctors because he had an abscess lanced before, and they introduced an infection, leaving him on sick leave for a month. Recently, he had a severe abscess again and didn't go. He took antibiotics—Amosin twice a day, plus paracetamol—and it cleared up, knock on wood. Check what's available and take them; it might be even better to avoid having them poking around in your mouth.

Girls, don't argue, Sochi is far from a dump now; it's been built up so well that it's better than abroad. I especially enjoyed living in the mountains at Krasnaya Polyana—the service is superb. And Sochi itself is lovely, the sea was clean, and the bridges, the houses—everything is new.

I don't want to scare you even more, but a dental abscess is truly serious, and delaying is dangerous. All the frightening things you can find and read about it are not exaggerations, including the high likelihood of ending up in the maxillofacial surgery department if you wait (I'm writing this partly from experience with several cases in my family—both when time was lost and when it wasn't). Go to the dentist; they need to drain and clean it. These are straightforward procedures, and you can continue the rest of your treatment with a trusted specialist once you're back home.

I'm heading to Sochi soon, and the trip cost 120k. I've been to many places too, and Sochi is crazy expensive!

If you can get your hands on lincomycin, take it. It's a very strong antibiotic, specifically used in dentistry. It helped me. Though, even in Russia, it's now only available by prescription.

Coxsackie virus was first discovered last century in the USA. Since then, outbreaks have been recorded worldwide, especially frequently at popular resorts in Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Spain, Italy, and others... (c).
So what's wrong with the seas and oceans there?)) My friend's whole family got Coxsackie in Turkey last year.

You are not immune to intestinal infections at any hot resort. Only in Russia is it easier to find a doctor and receive medical assistance than abroad.

What do you mean? Everyone who goes on vacation has insurance. You call the insurance company, they usually immediately give you a list of clinics and next steps, and off you go.

Have you never dealt with insurance companies? Many people get insurance just for show, for the visa. It can be difficult to get money out of the insurance company.

In all the times we've used insurance, it was about getting medical services without having to pay anything out of pocket. If you're trying to squeeze money out of them too, then yeah, that's hard 😄

Author, start antibiotics, the swelling should go down. And as soon as you get home, see a doctor immediately—removal might be necessary.

Antibiotics. Or Nise, ibuprofen - morning, evening. I had the same thing myself (gums got inflamed) what the hell was I thinking) Nise helped from the first pill. Took it for three days. 23367

Judging by the difficulties with dentists there - it's actually you who's relaxing in a shithole. I can hardly imagine a resort where there wouldn't be a doctor, or the possibility to reach one within a reasonable time.

Thanks, that gives me hope. I'm taking antibiotics—Amoxiclav—and in connection with that, a question: do you know how soon any effect should be noticeable? I just want to understand the progression.

Unfortunately, that's probably not possible. I'm taking Amoxiclav. When I was preparing, I chose it considering it's a strong enough antibiotic. I hope it helps.

Well... Antibiotics are no simple medications. In my opinion, it's better to either not take them at all, or take a full course prescribed by a doctor.
The author should definitely go see a doctor. Decent insurance will cover the trip to the nearest doctor if it's really far to get there.

Is your wisdom tooth coming in? Take antibiotics. Go to the doctor when you arrive. Everything will be fine. By the way, for how many days should you take antibiotics?

Fortunately, the swelling went down—antibiotics and a local antiseptic with chlorhexidine did the trick. But still, as soon as I get back, I'm heading straight to the dentist.
Thanks to everyone for the advice—it really helped calm me down.
And the site itself is a whole other story—I stumbled upon it by chance while searching for info about my issue. Turns out, it's a whole world here. Some topics just pulled me in and helped take my mind off things.

I used insurance in Turkey when I had to treat a tooth that got sick. No problems. The insurance paid for the treatment, I didn't pay a penny. The clinics in Turkey are excellent, the medical staff is very attentive.

Or you can go fuck yourself with your Sochi, it's a Russian dumpster, just like the entire south in general. And on top of that, during vacation you have to look at these faces in Rashka🤮🤮🤮 thanks, I'd rather go abroad than settle for zero service and gopnik-compatriots.

Drink water. About 3 liters a day. It subsides in 2 days.

Occasionally, it occurs due to getting chilled. Use a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Rinse that gum area about four times a day. In a couple of days, it will all go away. The post is old, but maybe it will still be useful to someone.

I got ceftriaxone injections (kson) - one per day for 3 days! And after the first injection, by evening, the swelling went down!!! Plus lincomycin in the gum, 1 injection, after the swelling went down! (This was prescribed by a dental surgeon after examination.) The dentist wanted the surgeon to extract the tooth, but he decided to save it) It worked!!!

I'm currently not in Russia, I'll be back in about 6 days. My gum started swelling, and now I woke up realizing it's a dental abscess. I've read all sorts of interesting things about how this condition can lead to consequences up to and including death. I really don't want to kick the bucket or reach the stage where the disease affects the brain membranes. But I can't see a doctor before returning - there are very few dentists here. And the ones I found are absolutely terrifying, I think I could cut my own gum better myself. But I don't want that either.
I've worked myself up to a state of significant nervous tension and just want to hear the opinion of someone not caught up in my panic - what do you suggest? Are there any alternatives? Please also share your own stories about this condition, etc.
I would be very grateful to you, this is really extremely important to me.
Thank you.
