Diagnosed With Mono. Have Sinus Infection. Gums Swelling. Suggestions?
I was diagnosed with mono about a month and a half ago, and now I have a sinus infection. Three days ago, my gums started swelling up, so I stopped using my mouth wash (as it contains alcohol) and kept about my normal routine of flossing and brushing twice a day. My gums have only gotten worse, and I am at a loss as to where to go from here.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
Swelling of the gums can be due to infection bacterial or viral, poor oral hygiene, use of certain medications. I would suggest you to visit an Dentist and get the thorough checkup done. Go for symptomatic treatment of complete mouth scaling and polishing deep curettage and root planing.
Maintain a good oral hygiene, use antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Hope this helps out.
Regards..
