The missed days must be made up before the next , if possible. No expiation (Fidya) is required if the delay in making up the days was due to ignorance or a from a shaykh. Pus that oozes from the teeth must be spat out, but anything that is doubtful is considered normal saliva. Swallowing pus unintentionally does not invalidate the fast.
