    For an infection you need to get on antibiotics. Please make a doctor's appointment to make sure this is what it is.

    Peroxide, although I used to believe it would get rid of an infection in the mouth until I started nursing school, will do nothing to get rid of it.

    If you suspect infection, please see your doctor.
