Suggest Remedy For Pain In Gums Of The Wisdom Tooth
wisdom tooth infection, antibiotics, extraction
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain, swelling and limited mouth opening could be because of the gum infection over the wisdom tooth (pericoronal infection leading to space infection).
Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule the amount of space present for the tooth to erupt if space is there for the tooth to erupt then the gum covering over the wisdom tooth can be removed.
If the space is not available then you have to get the wisdom tooth removed.
Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic) along with amoxicillin 500mg. Do saline gargling.
This answer is based on the description of the lesion by you, if you can upload the images i can give you exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
Do saline gargling. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
If any queries are there reply me back.
