Why Is My Mouth Swollen And Hurting?
my gums on the left side of my mouth are hurting and are swollen. its only the bottom part of my gums. I would wash it out with salt water and peroxide but it only feels better for an hour or so and there gets swollen again. Now i think my face and checks are starting to swell on the bottom as well. please help.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain and swelling can be because of the gum infection leading to pus formation which has spread through soft tissues resulting in swelling over the face. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
