Suggest Remedy For Pain,swelling And Redness In Gums

I was sick for a few days and happen to eat a lot of cough drops. I really didn't eat much more then that. I had high fevers and dizziness. It's all about over but now parts of my gums are red and swollen and hurt when I eat anything g but soft food. I've been trying a salt solution every few hours and it seems to have helped the swelling but the pain got worse. What do I do?

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query. As far as the pain and swelling in the gums is concerned, it is because of the deposits over the teeth resulting in gum infection. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get your teeth cleaned once. There after maintain the oral hygiene. For the pain you can take an analgesic like diclofenac (if you are not allergic) till you consult the oral physician.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care.
