What To Do For Swelling In The Gums Along With Tenderness?
I am a 53 year old healthy woman and just a few days now have one side swollen gland and upper gum tenderness, now the inside sides of mouth are a bit swollen/red and the sides of my tongue feel as if they have been rubbed against my teeth little choppy abrasions. Under my tongue there is small white pimples.I have noticed last week my mouth was dry. I just recently had some stress with my 90 yr old mom, I am presently her caretaker. It is seasonal change now here in Connecticut so possibly this is due to allergies. I have used hydrogen peroxide as a mouth rinse for years. I also used some salt water rinses that I think it made this problem worse. I would like to use something natural. Maybe aloe vera juice ? Thank you, Donna

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
It can be possible that you might be having a gum infection or tooth infection, which is causing this pain and swelling of gum and gland.
Better that you should stop using this mouthwash, and visit a good dentist and get complete examination of your oral cavity done.
Hope it will help you.
