I accidentally hit my gum flap over my wisdom tooth with a sucker and then it cut it somehow it got infected and it hurts and everything hurts so bad I can't and swallow I can't do nothing till now it has spread into three or four different spots on my gums what are real red and white spots and it's just so bad I don't know what to do I'm already taking antibiotics for my stitches in my hand but yet this won't go away
It looks like the gum flap is inflamed due to injury caused by the sucker leading to pain.
Swallowing difficulty is due to inflammation of the throat that is common in infection and inflammation of the gum flap over the wisdom tooth as this area is close to the throat..
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..
You can be advised antibiotics like Amoxicillin and metronidazole. Anti inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen can be advised. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles..
Hope this helps..
Regards..
