What Causes Dark Red And Tender Spot On Gums?
I was just sick with the flu, vomiting and diarrhea for one solid day and generally not feeling well for two more. Now I have a spot on my gums above my top front tooth that is dark red and very tender. And a smaller spot on my gums near the lower front tooth. Is this serious and what should I do?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
I would suggest you to get a checkup done by a Dentist, take multivitamin suplements, apply Hexigel oral ointment topically over the affected area, at home take lukewarm saline nad antiseptic mouthwash rinses, also take plenty of fluids which are rich in vitamin C.
Take care!
