Suggest Remedy For Pain And Soreness In Gum And Cheek
Hello, I have pain in my upper left gum and cheek that has gradually become worse over the last two days. I have had sinusitis before so went to the doctor and got amoxil 500mg. I have a dentist appointment tomoz. My whole cheek is swollen and the gum above my top left teeth is aching. I was given panadeine forte for the pain. Is this the best pain relief to take? I have been taking ibuprofen and it dulls the pain a little. My teeth are not sore at all and hot and cold food/ drink does not affect my teeth. Thanks in advance. M

hello ,
It may be due to chronic periapical infection. make an appointment with dentist and follow up the complete treatment. Don't eat spicy and citrus food for 2-3 weeks( that food will irritate the your cheek) .Gargle with chlorhexidine mouth wash and do your comple oral check up .
