Hi Dr.Grief my name is Thomas ...a week ago I was diagnosed with a horrible painful gum infection and now it is getting better but on my upper gum on the right handside I seem to be having a vein that is growing painful and I have used different kinds of mouthwashes and I did go to the doctor but this vein is painful and it is giving me sleepless nights...how can this be treated because every morning my gums are swollen and I cannot even take a bite or chew anything as soft as a banana..
From the symptoms which you have written and I could assimilate, you may be having endo-perio infection. That is, you may be having an infection the tooth and associated gum. You should consult a Dentist for it. He will examine the teeth near to the swollen gum and may make X ray diagnosis for it. You can have anaerobic antibiotic along with analgesic to relieve you from infection and pain temporarily.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The best medicines for gum infection is tablet doxycycline, 100mg, twice daily on first day and once daily for next 4 days(if you are not allergic), do saline gargling. Before that consult a oral physician and get a radiograph done to rule out whether it is gum infection or tooth infection. if it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned once and maintain oral hygiene after that. You can use mouth wash. if it is tooth infection get the tooth restored. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
