Suggest Remedy To Reduce Swelling And Pain In Gums
Hi, i have a swollen gum at the back of my teeth(molar). It all started after eating unripe paw-paw(its not the first time i'm eating that). Overnight, i woke up with a swollen gum, i took paracetamol after sometime the swelling went down and the pain subsided. Later on, it wasn't working. I started taking another pain relieving called labdic relief along side vit C, applying bonjela on the affected gum, and washing my mouth with diluted TCP. Later on, it stopped reacting to that treatment. Then i decided to take ampiclox which after taking i noticed another swollen gum beside the tooth after the molar(that is the second to the last tooth) now both swellings are almost covering up the molar(the last tooth). Is it wrong to take ampiclox or am i reacting to something? I hope to see the dentist soon but i don't have enough money yet to pay for the treatment, so there's something i can take to reduce the pain while i try to get money. Thank you

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
This can be a gingival abscess.A piece of the unripe fruit you have taken can be struck in your gingiva and causing this.Debri and bacteria can accumulate in the area and started with a infection.
You cannot remove it with a home remedy.You can spread the infection even if you try to remove at home.I suggest you to see your dentist for a root planning on the involved teeth.
Swelling in the other tooth suggests spread of the infection and not allergy to ampiclox.
Gargle with warm saline thrice daily. Eat in small pieces chewing completely.Do not bite fully.
Regards.
