Hi. My 32 year old son has pain & swelling in the right jaw. Prior to the onset of the jaw pain he experienced dry mouth
And bleeding gums for s few days. Xrays didn't t show anything unusual & he was diagnosed with a viral infection. And told to rest as he has been run down. He also is slightly congested. Thank you , Karen.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as your son is feeling pain and swelling in gum , diagnosed with viral infection, dont worry it is Viral Stomatitis ,
You do is Take Electrol liquid when ever you feeling like drinking water
Apply ointment Acivir on painful gums
Take one Tablet Acivir twice daily for 5days
Take one Capsule vitamin B complex once daily
Take this medication for 5days if problem continues then consult Dentist and go for Oral Prophlaxis
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health
Regards
