What Causes Swelling In The Gum When Suffering From Tonsillitis?
I am 31 years old with thin body and normal hight I was suffering from heavy tonsills infection for the last for days Still I am on just milk and can't eat any thing But for two days a new problem of gum swelling started It is in very large scale I can't drink normal water because the pain started on the gums I can't open my mouth properly There is some acid problem also in my chest
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain swelling in gum along with difficulty is opening the mouth is pointing towards swollen gum around the wisdom tooth leading to Pericoronitis that leads to infection in the area between the tooth and the gum flap leading to inflammation and swelling..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like x ray can help in diagnosis and treated accordingly..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen and also do warm saline gargles and gargle with antiseptic mouthwash.. Do cool compresses over the cheek..
Hope this information helps..
