Can anyone aid me near this medical/dental problem? Its considerable?

My brother had or still have a hole in his tooth, and a while ago it be causing him great discomfort, but he never went to the dentist for it because a) hes an idiot and b) he doesn't enjoy dental or medical insurance. Now his gum where the tooth is EXTREMELY swollen but he say it doesn't hurt. I looked at his tooth in the pay for ( first molar on the right bottom) and there be a hole and some yellowish liquid (most probable puss duh) coming out of it. Im going to make him jump to the doctor first chance i procure tomorrow but i am curious as to what i can do to help next to the swelling, it literally looks like hes get a huge gum ball surrounded by his mouth but its just his gum swelling, any suggestions to sustain the swelling or what i can do besides get him checked out at the doctor or dentist?

Answers:    Yep sounds resembling an abscess. That's the word for a bunch of bacteria feed off the blood supply below a tooth in the gums. I've have a few of them. The dentist will always prescribe anti-bacterial pills before working on it (they can also distribute a localized shot of the same so it's not a dried up visit). Wait a week - if it goes away, congratulations, simply come back for a cavity overrun. If it only shrinks a bit but stays - the one and only thing the dentist can do is a root waterway. Roughly 1k without insurance because they usually crown it too.
For in a minute, use Listerine often and gurgle brackish water.
