What Should I Do For The Gum Pain After Brushing Teeth With Hair Removal Cream?
I brushed my teeth about 24 hours ago with cream hair removal. I spit it out and don't think I swallowed any, I rinsed my mouth with plenty of water. The problem is now my gums hurt and are red and irritated. I haven't had any pain or anything in my stomach except for when I laugh with my friend at what I did.
Any advice on what I should do?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
As you are mentioning that you brushed your teeth with hair removal cream and after that your gums are red and swollen it looks like that your gums are now infected and even acquiring allergic reaction.
Better that first you should start with some anti allergic medication like avil, or cetrizine once a day and apply some topical medication on gums like stoline gum paint on gums three to four times a day. Take these medications atleast for 5 days, you will see the response.
Hope it will help you.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Read the back and see if it says to seek immediate medical attention if ingested. If it does, seek immediate medical attention. If not, leave it unless you feels sick or shows any other symptoms of something being wrong; a tiny amount of it is unlikely to do any damage.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
