What Is The Remedy For The Puffiness In The Lips And Cheeks Caused Due To An Abscess In Gums?
... tried to treat what appeared to be an abscess on the upper gums with raw garlic.
It was probably left there too long and now the soft tissue under the upper lip in grossly inflamed.
Also the lip and cheeks were puffy, but the lip is not as much now: in 3rd day.
Are antibiotics needed?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have inflamed gums and lips dont worry it can be due to periodontal problem there can be formation of Periodontal Abscess
You do is warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily
Consult dentist and go for Scaling and currettage .
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
