Sore Throat, Earache, Dull Headache, Sore Gums, Rotting Skin Between And Around Teeth. Treatment Advise?
For the last 4 days i have had a sore throat . My gums are sore and at the front of my mouth on top it looks as if the skin is rotting between and around the teeth .The skin comes away in a milky white colour. Behind my front teeth is also sore and feels as if the skin is peeling away. I developed earache on the second day as well as a dull headache . Help please.

hello. from your description it seems like you are having an infection, and it looks like a bit serious one too. please meet your dentist, he will examine and start you on antibiotics after doing the appropriate tests. dont worry. meanwhile , use chlorhexidine mouth wash 4-5 times a day.thanks
