Should you puncture a pustule yourself?

A pustule inside or outside the oral cavity should not be punctured because the person concerned does not have sterile instruments suitable for performing a professional opening. Furthermore, there would be a risk of carrying away bacteria through the process and risking the spread of infection. This can have serious consequences depending on the location of the pustule within the oral cavity or, for example, in the corner of the eye or on the nose.

Since large blood vessels are located at these sites and have a direct connection to lead structures such as the brain, the spread of the infection there can have life-threatening consequences. For this reason, it is important that a pus blister may only be opened professionally by the treating physician or dentist. Various home remedies can be used to support the healing of gingivitis.

These can also be used preventively to prevent the development and thus also to counteract the accumulation of pus. Rinsing with a saline solution has proven to be effective. It is best to use sea salt and put it in lukewarm water.

Slow rinsing kills the bacteria in the mouth. Then spit out the prepared solution. Also very popular are rinses with sage or chamomile.

For this, brew a strong tea, preferably with fresh sage leaves from the health food store, and let it steep. Once it has reached a pleasant temperature, rinse your mouth with it several times a day.Alternatively you can dab the inflamed areas with a cotton swab, which you have previously dipped into the tea. Tea tree, cloves and also coconut oil have also proven to be effective household remedies.

Ginger tubers can also be bought cheaply in the supermarket, which are cut into small pieces and the skin removed. Then place the ginger on the affected area. Most household remedies are said to have an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and calming effect, which can thus supplement the healing process.

It should be noted that they only support healing, but cannot replace manual, thorough cleaning with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Many people rely on homeopathy to help in the treatment of gum inflammation, the effect of which is based on the principle of similarity. Aconitum and Belladonna are used for acute gingivitis.

Aconitum is the wolfsbane, a buttercup plant that is one of the most poisonous plants in nature. Belladonna is another name for belladonna. It has the potencies D6-D12 and is often used for sudden, severe inflammation, such as acute gingivitis.

One takes a globule of both aconitum and belladonna every two hours. Mercurius solubilis (mercury) and Apis mellifica (honey bee) can be prescribed as a supplement. If it is a chronic gum inflammation, calcium fluoratum (mineral salt) or luesinum (extracted from the pus of ulcers caused by syphilis) is taken three times a day.

In addition to the intake, other globules can be taken to stop bleeding, such as Arnica (medicinal plant). However, the intake of the different globules should always be discussed with an experienced homeopath and an effect has not yet been clinically proven. They alone are not sufficient to fight acute gingivitis, especially if pus has formed.
