Dental gangrene. After an alveolar abscess has ruptured, the area remains swollen and hard without subsiding; foul-smelling blood is discharged but no pus is present, and the odor is so foul that it is hard to approach.
Instructions for Use
Use the “repeated purgation” method: treat it today, treat it again tomorrow, continuing until the swelling and hardness subside, the black discoloration fades, and the foul odor ceases; if the patient cannot eat, treat it every other day, or every 2–3 days. After treatment, as the patient gradually regains the ability to eat, there is no need for dietary restrictions—allow them to eat whatever they wish. Even if stools are loose, continue treatment according to the severity of the condition.
