The warm salt water and more likely hot soup caused the pus to drain, but the infection is still there.  You need to see your dentist ASAP.

It shows you have an infection and infections need to be treated. the puss leaking out shows the infection is not getting any better.

Hi Sevina, from what i have heard, a gum abscess is an infection and the puss coming out is evidence. You really should see your dentist about this and get some antibiotics to clear it up.
