Why There Is A Lump Inside My Gum?
I had a implant done about two weeks ago . Was given some antibiotics to go home with . But after a week got a lump in the inside of my gums . Returned to dentist who gave me another course of antibiotics , stronger ones. I have been taking for three days now .Washing mouth with a strong mouth wash every day . But I have not noticed any improvement so far . Should I be worried . Or wait a few more days till I finish the antibiotics .

Hello,
Thanks for consulting HCM,
Read your query, as you have undergone implant now you feel like swelling in gum dont be worried so much until your course of antibiotic is completed in this implant procedure healing of bone takes time .
Follow post operative instructions given by your dentist and take proper course of antibiotics .
Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.
