Suggest Remedies For Swelling In Chin With Pain In Teeth/gums
I accidentally hit my chin hard on the bottom of my pool today. My chin is swollen & painful. The swollen area is about the size of a grape. I have some pain in my gums/teeth when I clench mouth shut. Should I be concerned or just expect swelling to go away soon & bruising

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have injury in your gums this pain and swelling in gums can be due to periodontal injury in lower gums may be there is formation of pus periodontal abscess or periapical pathology or swelling can be due to hairline fracture of symphysis region also
Dont worry consult dentist and go for OPG to evaluate the diagnosis why pain and swelling is present .
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
You can take analgesic tablet diclofenac sodium twice daily.
Hope this will help you.
