I have some swelling inside my mouth. It on the inside of my top and bottom lips, mainly bottom lip. Feels slighly tender. Its been almost 2 weeks and is only on the inside between the outside of my mouth and where the gums start. No bleeding or ulcers. Just feels kind of bloated.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The swelling inside the mouth can be because of the abscess or collection of pus secondary to teeth or gum infection. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take radiographs like RVG or IOPAR to rule out gum and teeth infection. If it is a gum or teeth infection i would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 500mg and metronidazole 400mg tid for 5 days (if you are not allergic). Then i would have suggested to go for scaling and root planing for gum infection. RCT or extraction if it is a tooth infection. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
