Suggest Treatment For Fish Bone Stuck In The Gums
A fish bone got stuck in my gum a couple of days ago... I was able to remove it but I don t know if I removed all because my gum is swollen and the pain is unbearable. Please help. Is it normal for it to be swollen... How long will it take for the pain to ease. What should I do?

Hi,
As per your query about fish bone which got stuck into the gum and causing pain and swelling due to lodgement of particles of fish bone and proliferation of bacteria and might have a pocket formation there. I suggest you to visit a dentist for a oral examination and its effective treatment like gingival curettage and irrigation with a antiseptic solution for proper healing. For the time being you can take paracetamol tablet for having relief from pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jyoti Pandey
