What Causes Soreness In Gums With Swollen Lymph Node?
My husband went to doctor because of fever and swollen lymph node and the doc said that it was post nasal drip and gave him amoxicillin. My husband was also concerned about his sore gums but the doc that he had never seen said it was gingivitis. We called out dentist and he confirmed that my husband has never had gingivitis. Should we be concerned about any possible problem with this?
Read your query, as your husband had history of fever , swollen lymph node sorness in gums can be due to viral fever related it can be Viral stomatitis causing inflammation of gingiva or desquamative gingivitis . Dont worry I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for visual examination of gingiva in Meantime you can apply ointment Acivir for soreness and you can take medicine like Acivir tablet by consulting with your dentist , do warm saline rinses , you can take vitamin B supplements with medication .
Hello....read through your query..as your husband has concern of sore gums and dentist said no gingivitis ..in my opinion i can say that it can be mostly due to infected tooth in the oral cavity...so its better to go to an endodontist and check for the decayed tooth in the area of swollen gums..he will ask you to take xray and see....as tooth infection can also result in swollen lymph nodes..anyways amoxicillin is good for tooth infection control and if he has pain he can eve take a diclofenac....hope you are answered for your query ... Have a Healthy day!!!!
