Hi, I am trying to find an answer to why my gums are swollen? I have had fever for 3 days now and was seen ad a doctors office yesterday for hurting my back at work. I was given a muscle relaxer cause they said I was swollen in my lower back. But cannot understand why my gums are rEd and swollen and why this fever doesnt go away. I have taken aleve & ibuphrophen for pain.
Hello, You are already taking a fever reducing medication. Gums can react to various medications especially if your mouth is Chat Doctor. I suggest a dental exam. If you have not had a regular dental visit, then a basic cleaning could help resolve your inflamed gums while the condition of your teeth would be evaluated and infections diagnosed. Infections in the mouth can cause these symptoms. A prescription medication such as an antibiotic may be necessary. Make sure you are well HY
