What Causes Blood In The Mouth With Swelling In The Jaws?
Last month I had a molar pulled and had deep pocket cleaning on my teeth. My lymph nodes are still slightly swollen..which causes my tongue to swell. My tongue has white patches on the back and large red bumps. There is also a sore on both sides of my tongue. Just now when I gargled, I spit up some blood. My peridontist says things look okay. What's going on????

Hi
Thank you for your query with HCM,
As such with the symptoms and signs you have mentioned it looks like you have a periodontal disease.
Coming to your second issue lumps inthe floor of mouth or back of tongue might be lymph node enlargement due to infection
You need a complete thorough check up with radiographic examination and also you need full antibiotic coverage.
Please stop if you have any adverse habits like smoking or chewing if tobacco.
Hope this answers your query
