Hello, I feel like I have a virus but my gums are swollen, red and sore. I have no dental issues, I brush, floss each day and have my teeth cleaned every 6 months. I have perfect teeth. It has to be related to my illness . I have swollen glans on both sides of jaw. I get swollen glans when I don t feel well but this is the first time I have had my gums swell and turn red. Is this common?
Hello, Thanks for writing in. I read your problem, as you gave the detail it seems that you are suffering from a viral disease known as mumps. The most common symptoms include-1.parotid gland infection/parotitis.2. Fever3. Headeche,4. Chat Doctor. 5. Sore face.etc..... This could be because of contact with infectious person because it is a contagious disease. So I will suggest you please visit to your physician and dentist for proper treatment because there is no specific treatment of this disease only symptomatic treatment is the solution.meanwhile you can apply intermittent ice or heat to the affected area. Nothing to get worried. Wish u a good health. Take Care.
