Sounds like you have a fistula on your gum. Once a apicoectomy is done and a fistula shows up its not good news.The dentist should numb the area and remove the fistula. Hopefully that will be it and it wont come back. If you does come back you will proably have to have the tooth extracted.

I would think you have had the apicectomy because the tooth has already been root filled.
the dentist will have filled the top of the root (apicectomy) by doing what is called a retro grade filling.
sometimes some of the filling material comes loose into the gum tissue therefore causing an infection in your gum tissue.
hence the yellow blister.
i would advise another visit to your dentist to let them have a look.
sometimes a course of antibiotics can sort this out and you will have no further trouble.
hope this helps..

It sounds like puss. Maybe they didnt drain it properly but you shouldnt be having problems if they have removed the root and abcess or infection. I would go to your dentist as soon as possible to get it checked out

You really need to get it checked out for sure, some kind of infection. Best thing you can do is drink plenty of water. Just plain old water and avoid sugars.

DID YOU CHECK THE SPELLING FOR APASECTOMY? WHAT IS THIS?
A YELLOW FILLED BLISTER IS CAUSED BY AN ABCESS TRYING TO DRAIN OUT.
THIS MUST BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DENTIST WHO WILL;
1. DO A ROOT CANAL OR
2. REMOVE THE INFECTED TOOTH.
THE KEY IS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT A.S.A.P. TOTAKE CARE OF IT.
