Hi Everybody,

I'm almost 31 weeks pregnant and discovered I have a gum boil on my gum.

Just got off the phone to my Obstetrician's office. Receptionist told me the best thing to do is see my GP and get a prescription for a safe antibiotic.

Has anybody experienced this before??

I have had a gum boil in the past before, but can't remember if I went onto antibiotics or not.

I was on antibiotics for an acute case of tonsilitis soon after doctor found that I was pregnant, so I have been on safe antiobiotics during pregnancy before.

I'm a bit scared though! Anybody been here before?

Cheers!
