Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
There could be many reasons for gum pain.
Some common causes include injury during brushing, vitamin deficinecy , viral infection.
I would suggest the following tips
1. try analgesics like ibuprofen .
2. Multivitamin supplements like zincovit syrup . I usually prescribe 5 ml once daily for such patients in my clinic for 1 month.
3. If not improving consult your doctor or dentist and get him examined.
