Suggest Treatment For Painful Gums
Question: Hi
I have been having pain in my gums on the right side since yesterday morning..I have only 5 teeth on the bottom right. On the that side of my mouth on the bottom, i have hardly no bone left. It wasnt hurting before and now it started to hurt. I have like a little bump on my neck behind my ear. and it hurts going down my neck. I'm just wondering what i can do for the pain. Could i have an infection? I really dont have money to go to the dentist, thats why im asking here. I have dentures on the top and a partial on the bottom that i dont wear cause it hurts to much. My dentist knows all about the right side of my mouth where theres hardly no bone left.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
From the history according to me you are having a lesion because of dentures. My advise to you is if you can't go to dentist, please get a picture clicked of the lesion and post here so that I can suggest you better as in few cases intervention is required.
For now, avoid wearing dentures. Take a combination of diclofenac and serratiopeptidase twice daily.
Tablet amoxicillin plus clavulunate 625 twice daily. These are prescription only drugs; perhaps you can visit an urgent care clinic and request for a prescription.
This will help to stop the infection from spreading.
Follow up with the required information.
Take care
Thanks and regards
